New Scent is awful
on July 28, 2025
Posted by: Chicken Jockey
from Alberta Canada
The new scent is overpowering. It makes me feel sick, and lingers on my hands and dishes.
Please bring back the old scent!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Our products undergo thorough testing to ensure they're always safe for use as directed, and we do extensive research when we design product features, like scents, to make sure we're meeting the needs/preferences of our consumers. We're sorry to hear that you're unhappy with the scent of your Dawn Ultra, and that the smell made you feel sick, as this isn't the experience we want or expect you to have, and we're grateful you brought it to our attention. If you're concerned with how the product is affecting you, please discontinue use.
To remove the scent from your dishes, soak the items in hot water with some distilled white vinegar added to it, or if they're dishwasher safe, pour some vinegar into the bottom of the dishwasher and directly into the dispenser, then run them through the machine. It may take a couple of cycles, but the smell will come out. Additionally, you can rewash your hands with mild hand soap to remove the scent.
Your satisfaction is important to us, and we hope you'll give Dawn another try. We have a variety of scents if the Original no longer meets your needs, including an unscented version called Dawn Free and Clear, Unscented. We'd love to help you find the right product for you and assist further with this. Please hold on to your product and give us a call at (800) 725-3296, any time from 9:00AM-6:00PM EST Monday-Friday, so we can help!

New scent “stinks”!
on August 8, 2025
Posted by: JRGL
The new scent that replaced original Dawn gave me an immediate headache and it has made my entire house reek!!! Plus there was NO warning on the label that anything had changed. No new and (not) improved so I could have avoided the not so fun surprise. If anyone reading this is thinking about using this, avoid it at all cost. Please change it back to the original scent or you have lost a lifelong customer!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're very sorry to hear that this has been your experience after using Dawn EZ-Squeeze Original. We have many safety and quality checks in place to ensure our products are safe and bring you a great dish-cleaning experience. The scent was changed in February 2024, and it was made after receiving positive feedback from extensive consumer testing, marking the first scent update for Dawn Original in over a decade. We understand this may be disappointing for some of our loyal consumers, and we'll be sure to share your comments with our team. While we currently have the new fragrance, we are always listening to our customers, and your input could certainly influence future product offerings.
We hope you're feeling better, and based on your experience, we recommend discontinuing the use of the product, but please hold onto it for at least 2 weeks in case our team needs additional information.
Our Safety and Quality Team would like to learn more about your experience so they can look into this further. Also, we'd be happy to recommend another one of our dish soaps that better meets your preferences, such as our unscented soap, Dawn Free & Clear. For assistance, please give us a call at (800) 725-3296.

Not a fan of the new scent
on August 15, 2025
Posted by: Ck13
from Dallas Texad
The new scent has made it near impossible for me to use it. It is so strong and gives me a headache. Then I’m unable to get it off my hands. I hope you can go back to the original scent or come out with “ Classic Dawn” for those of us that are finding it difficult to use the current Dawn.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

There's nothing more important to us than your safety and ensuring you have an enjoyable time doing the dishes, so we're truly sorry to hear about this. While scent preferences and perceptions will vary from person to person, the scent should never be too strong that you have this kind of experience when using it as directed. Because this dish soap has underwent extensive quality and safety testing, we ask that you discontinue using your bottle. We'd love to ensure your feedback and experience are heard, so please give us a call at (800) 725-3296.

Awful.

Posted by: Mommaof3
Awful smell. Penetrates through every cup and dish. Nauseating smell.
Response from dawn-dish.comBy Customer Care, August 18, 2025

We're sorry to hear you are not a fan of the new scent. Please rest assured that we value your feedback greatly, and we will relay it to our Research and Development team. We'd recommend giving our Dawn E-Z Squeeze Free & Clear Fragrance-Free a try, as it has all of the cleaning power of Dawn with no added scent. We'd love to hear more about your experience and help you locate this version of Dawn. Please give us a call at (800) 725-3296 Monday-Friday 9 AM - 6 PM EST.

Bring back the original scent
on August 23, 2025
Posted by: Nikkelynn
from Tulsa, Oklahoma
There is no other scent of dish soap that I love more than the original Dawn. It brings me back to going to my Aunt's Lake house. We were a Palmolive family and she always used Dawn. I can't begin to say how devastated I was the first time I did dishes and realized the scent had changed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

New scent ruins a great product
on August 31, 2025
Posted by: Chrissie529
from Pennsylvania
The new scent is absolutely terrible!!! I have used Blue Dawn for years and not just for dishes, it is great for cleaning and laundry stains. Due to this absolutely horrible new scent I will no longer be purchasing Dawn. Aside from getting a headache it leaves a disgusting taste on your dishes. I have no idea what your were thinking when you reuined a great product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from dawn-dish.comBy Customer Care, September 2, 2025
We appreciate that you've used Dawn for years, Chrissie, and are sorry you're disappointed with the change in fragrance. Our products are tested to be safe when used as directed, and your safety is our highest priority. Because the scent is causing you to experience headaches, we recommend that you discontinue use of this fragrance. We're slso sorry you're finding a taste left behind on your dishes. We wouldn't expect Dawn to impart a taste, however, if the soap isn't completely rinsed off, or if the dishes have become porous, this is possible. If certain items always pick up a flavor, they're probably worn to the point of being porous, and items made of cast iron and plastic items can absorb flavors. For best results, we recommend that you do not soak porous items; wash immediately and rinse thoroughly. Also, you can soak any affected items in water with white vinegar added to remove any residue. Your loyalty is appreciated, and we hope you'll consider trying another version such as our Dawn Free & Clear EZ-Squeeze Fragrance-Free dish soap. We take your report very seriously, and our Dawn Team would like to learn more about your experience to further assist you. Please give us a call at 1-800-725-3296 from 9AM -- 6PM EST Monday–Friday.
