Q: This is a comment. I was beyond frustrated when my daughter went to clean out the hamster cage with the new dawn and I got really sick. Autoimmune issues. We've used Dawn for all cleaning for 24 yrs. New scent is not working.

submitted by Christa - 1 year ago
  • A: Just opened a new bottle today, didn’t know they changed the scent. While I didn’t use enough to make me sick or anything, the new scent is truly horrible so it’s time to change brands, I can’t remember a time I didn’t use Dawn so this is a true bummer. First Tide went to crap now Dawn, I guess everything is just going down hill from here.

    submitted by - 3 months ago
  • A: Completely agree! The new scent gave me a horrible allergic reaction and asthma attack. I had to throw away the whole bottle. I had no idea that the classic original scent was gone and replaced!!!

    submitted byEliza - 6 months ago
  • A: Agreed! New scent is horrible and won't leave hands or dishes! And the ad did show I was getting original scent.

    submitted byOldLady - 7 months ago
  • A: Surprised to find I was not the only one that had trouble with this new overwhelming scented product that gave me an allergic reaction. Ordered on Target’s site showing this as original scented!

Safety is our top priority here at Dawn, and we can assure you that our Dawn Original has been thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed. Your comments will be shared with our team, and we do recommend discontinuing use of this particular product, if you haven't already. It may be helpful to know that we do offer other Dawn versions, and you may be interested in giving our Dawn Free & Clear Fragrance-Free a try. As well, we'd like to mention that Dawn has only been approved for certain alternative uses. Cleaning out an animal cage is not one of our approved alternative uses, so we can't recommend using our product in this manner.

Q: Fyi. This is NOT "original" scent. The "new" scent is absolutely terrible. We've moved to another brand.

submitted by garnettguy21 - 10 months ago

submitted by Danny and Sara - 11 months ago
  • A: I suggest writing the company as well. Personally, I am boycotting this brand until they bring the old scent back. It’s one thing to introduce a new scent, but to replace the original and trick us with the blue color and the duck? Outrage

Q: Is Dawn Dishwashing Liquid Antibacterial? Can it be used to disinfect bacteria from raw meat?

submitted by Madi - 2 years ago
  • A: Thank you for asking if Dawn Dishwashing Liquid is antibacterial and if you can use Dawn to wash raw meat. Please know Dawn dish liquid is not designed for washing food. All Dawn works to clean dishes, but none of it acts as an antibacterial soap on dishes.

    I am so bummed that Dawn is the latest in a long, long line of companies that has decided it's better for them to completely alienate their loyal customers in order to save a few pennies per bottle. The new scent is truly atrocious and I will be buying a different dish soap from here on out. Let me know if you ever decide to change it back!

    We're sorry to hear that a loyal Dawn fan like you feels this way. We did update the scent for our Dawn Original in February 2024, and a lot of thought goes into creating features that we think you'll like. This fragrance change was implemented after receiving positive feedback during extensive testing with consumers. We'll be sure to let our team know how you feel, and we suggest giving another Dawn version a try if you'd prefer a different scent. You're always welcome to give us a call at (800) 725-3296 if you'd like any further assistance.

    I loved Dawn so much and swore by it as the only dishwashing liquid I'd use. I'm incredibly sensitive to smells but always found Dawn pleasant and unoffending. However, the new scent is absolutely awful and after 20 years of using your product exclusively I'm switching away and I refuse to buy Dawn unless you bring back the original scent. Way to tank your product.

    Truly Disappointed - 13 days ago
    originally posted on dawn-dish.com
    The new Dawn scent is disgusting, I’m looking for other dish soaps to use even though I had been using this for decades. It wasn’t broken, you shouldn’t have “fixed” it. How much did you pay the guy who made this formula change decision? Have you paid any attention to all of the negative reviews around the internet? I’ll come back to Dawn, but only if the original scent is brought back. What you should have done is come out with a new scent to add to your line if you felt it was needed, you should not have changed such an iconic product that I’m sure is the cornerstone of this brand since it is the “Original.”

    Thanks, Joe, for picking up a Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray Refill, and using your previously purchased sprayer to dispense the product. We're sorry to learn that your sprayer's not working now. It might help to know that our Quality Team shares that each sprayer should last around 5 bottles. After 4-6 bottles, it's not unusual for the sprayer to need to be replaced. When you move the sprayer to a new refill bottle, be sure that the dip tube’s facing the same direction as the nozzle. Note that the tube bends. The bottom of it should be facing the same way as the nozzle. Speaking of the nozzle, check that it’s not clogged. If it is, run warm water over the nozzle for a few minutes to loosen any clogs that may have occurred. Let us know if this helps, by calling us any Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 6 PM, EST. We’re happy to help at 1 (800) 725-3296.

    The old formula was much better. I don’t see the 50%less scrubbing. If anything, it rinses out of the sponge twice as fast. Meaning more soap per washing session, which equals buying more soap, which seems like less benefit for me. Previous formula all the way.
    1 reply from Customer Care team - 12 days ago
    We're sorry to hear you didn't have the experience you expected, and assure you that we have many quality checks to ensure your dishes are left sparkling. To get the best results, make sure your water is 105°F to 115°F (40.56°C to 46.11°C), and add the dishwashing liquid to the sink before adding water. We'd like to help you get the most from your Dawn, as well as share your experience with our Quality Team. When you have a minute, please get in touch with us at (800) 725-3296.

    I disagree with a lot of people about the scent, the new scent is more refreshing and not so perfumed like before. I actually avoided dawn for years and bought Palmolive instead and now with the new scent it reminds me a lot of the Palmolive oxy which I love. So in the past 6 months I have found myself buying many dawn products when I never did before.

    I've been using Dawn for 13 years and before that my mom always used it. I won't buy it again unless they change the scent back. This new scent is awful and makes my dishes taste like soap residue. I'm not sure what drove the decision to change a perfectly good product but if they were trying to save money, good luck, because it seems like a lot of other people don't like the new scent either.

    The scent is absolutely terrible. Go back to the old scent and see which gets bought off the shelves first!

    We thank you for sharing your feedback on our recent change to Dawn Ultra Original. We know this is the first change in over 10 years, and that scent preference can be very personal. 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.

    Just bought new bottle of original Dawn. Why change the scent to a smell? It stays with you long after use with a sickening sweet smell on my hands. I find it unusable, will throw out and replace with another brand.

    Disgusting....

    Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend

    Can I give it zero stars? Because I would. The new scent is absolutely DISGUSTING. Not only that I can quite literally taste the soap on my dishes now many how good I rinse it off. Switching to a new brand!

    Your loyalty means a lot to us, Jamie, so we're very sorry for your disappointment with the Dawn Original Dishwashing Liquid scent change. This is the first scent change for Dawn Original in over 10 years, but please be assured that we value your feedback greatly and are sharing it with the rest of our Dawn Team. Consumer feedback is vital in helping us improve our products and ensuring that we deliver the best possible experience to our consumers; it’s also instrumental in guiding the Dawn Team as they continue to work on future innovations. In regard to the scent lingering and affecting your taste, we wouldn't expect this to be your experience, 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. We hope this was helpful, but we'd like to learn more about your experience, try to make things right, and tell you more about our Dawn Free & Clear version that offers our lightest scent. Please give us a call at (800) 725-3296 so we can help you best.
