New scent, why change a good thing?
on November 23, 2024
Posted by: Kate78
Scent is horrific. Why did you change the scent/formulation? Chemical smell gets caught in my nose and throat. I will no longer purchase nor use Dawn dish soap as it has very unpleasant and long lasting adverse effects after use.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the new scent of Dawn. Please be assured that we thoroughly test all of our ingredients for safety before we use them in a product, and this is not something we would expect. Safety is our top priority and based on what you shared we do recommend discontinuing use of this Dawn. We hope you'll give 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 in order to make a complete report to our Safety Team, and to help you further. Please hang on to the product and give us a call at (800) 725-3296 Monday-Friday 9 AM - 6 PM EST.

Disgusting scent!
on December 9, 2024
Posted by: GN35
I am so disappointed. Why did you change the scent. I have a serious scent sensitivity and the original Dawn was the only dish detergent I could stand to use. This fresh scent really makes me want to throw up and gives me a migraine. Please discontinue this and bring back the original scent. This was such a bad idea. I will have to find something else in the meantime

Bad

I would give it negative stars if I could - absolutely awful scent - unnecessarily strong - thought I was using wrong bottle - unfortunately didn't see "new scent" on label - will give away, far away so as to never smell this again 😵💫🥴😳

Disgusting. Horrid. Avoid if you value your dishes
on March 24, 2025
Posted by: MichaelTN
from Nashville, TN
I’ve used Dawn almost exclusively for thirty years. I won’t be buying it again. The new scent will go down in history as the “New Coke” era of Dawn.
The scent is overpowering. I was cooking trout—a potent fish—in the oven, baking it. All anyone could smell was the new scent of Dawn. Worse: you cannot wash this scent off. Nothing takes it away. I washed my on-the-go coffee cup. The top is ruined. I have soaked the top overnight in water -*and bleach*, and it’s still there. It ruined my morning commute.
Someone owes me a new coffee cup.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear that you're unhappy with the scent of your Dawn Ultra, Michael! We do extensive research and testing when we design our products to make sure they meet the needs/preferences of our consumers, and provide an effective clean every time when used as directed, so please know that this isn't the experience we want you to have when using Dawn, and we value your input greatly. Consumer feedback is vital in helping us improve our products and ensuring that we deliver the best possible experience to our consumers, so we really appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us.
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.
Your satisfaction means a lot 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 give us a call at (800) 725-3296, any time from 9:00AM-6:00PM EST Monday-Friday, so we can help!

Horrible New Scent
on June 18, 2025
Posted by: Dawn Hater
The new scent is so awful and strong. My dishes smell days later even with multiple rinses. I hate the smell on my hands and in my kitchen. It lingers and I can taste it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Ooh that smell!
on June 20, 2025

New scent is putrid. Since p&g doesn’t plan on returning to the original scent, I don’t plan on returning as a customer. Yuck. 0 stars and whoever scent tested this should be in prison. Straight to jail.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
