WHY WHY WHY! WHY DID YOU CHANGE THE SCENT! THIS GIVES ME A HEADACHE ABSOLUTELY HATE THE NEW SCENT. NOW I WILL NEVER BUY DAWN AGAIN UNTIL YOU CHANGE IT BACK!
Response from dawn-dish.comBy Customer Care, December 30, 2024
We appreciate you sharing your experience with the new scent of Dawn. The fragrance change of Dawn Ultra Original was implemented after receiving positive feedback during extensive testing with consumers. 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.

New scent is horrible!
on January 3, 2025
Posted by: cb25
from Boston
We have been using Dawn dish soap exclusively for decades. It was perfect. I had heard from a friend that the scent had been changed and that she could no longer use it because it triggered her asthma and gave her a headache. Today we started a bottle with the new scent and I must echo the many reviews I see here: it’s horrible!! The smell is overwhelming, sickening, and headache-inducing. Why, why, why would you destroy a previously excellent product? The new scent is so atrociously bad, and it is so strong that our entire home smells like it from one dish-washing session. Your own product page has a huge number of similar and negative reviews, as does the wider internet. This is a serious misstep and mistake. Please do what Coke did when they introduced “new” Coke to a hugely negative reception and withdrew it and returned to the tried and true original product — bring back the regular, old Dawn. Will no longer be using Dawn and cannot recommend this product any longer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We appreciate your great loyalty to Dawn over the years. We're sorry to hear that you and your friend had this experience, and we hope that you're both doing well. Since safety is our top priority, we can assure you that our Dawn Original has been thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed. As well, we put a lot of thought into our products. This was the first scent change for our Dawn Original in over 10 years, and it was implemented after receiving positive feedback during extensive testing with consumers. We'll make sure that your comments are shared with our team, and we do recommend that you discontinue use of this particular product, if you haven't already. For a lighter scent, we suggest giving our Dawn Free & Clear a try, and we also offer our Dawn Free & Clear Fragrance-Free. So that we can learn more and gather some details for our Safety Team, please give us a call at (800) 725-3296 when you have a moment. As well, please have your friend who had this experience give us a call, as we'd like to learn more about their experience.

Bring back the former scent
on January 3, 2025
Posted by: Ccase17
from Rochester, NY
Love Dawn dish soap which I’ve used for over 20 years. I do not like the new scent. My best friend and I feel the same way. When they were still changing over to the new scent in stores, I bought about 10 of the old scent so I could have it as long as possible! I don’t understand Dawn’s persistence in suggesting that those who don’t like the new smell use their fragrant-free option when it seems pretty consistent that people prefer the previous product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear that a loyal Dawn fan like you isn't enjoying the scent. A lot of thought goes into creating features that we think you'll like, though we certainly understand that preferences can vary. We'll make sure that your feedback is passed along. Since we don't currently have plans to reintroduce our previous Dawn Original scent, we're providing recommendations to give another Dawn version a try if you'd prefer a different scent or an unscented product. You're always welcome to give us a call at (800) 725-3296 if there's anything more we can assist you with.

There's nothing more important to us than your safety and satisfaction, Caroline, so we're truly sorry to hear about your experience with Dawn Original Dishwashing Liquid. This is the first scent change in over 10 years, and it was implemented after receiving positive feedback during extensive testing with consumers. While scent preferences will vary from person to person, we would never expect a scent to cause any negative reactions, and our products go through extensive testing to ensure safety with proper use. While you may have done so already, please discontinue using the product to avoid any further sensitivity. In regard to the lingering scent, we wouldn't expect this to be your experience either, however, if the soap isn't completely rinsed off, or if the dishes have become porous, it is possible. If certain items always pick up a flavor, they're probably worn to the point of being porous and should be washed by hand. It might help to know that cast iron and plastic items can absorb flavors. To remove the scent/taste, please soak the dishes in hot water with some distilled white vinegar added. While we hope all these tips are helpful, your satisfaction means a lot to us, and we'd like to help more. Please give us a call at (800) 725-3296 so we can learn more and try to make things right.

I used to be a devoted user of Dawn soap. With the new change in scent I can’t bear to use it anymore. It’s pungent and gives me a headache when I’m just trying to clean dishes.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
