Dawn Original Scent Ultra Dishwashing Liquid Dish Soap

A: Agreed! New scent is horrible and won't leave hands or dishes! And the ad did show I was getting original scent.

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!

A: We're sorry to hear that this was your experience, Christa, and we hope that you're feeling better. 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.

A: I got my house cleaned from cleaners and they used this product to clean the kitchen. I have been sick since then. Got severe headached and eye irritation.

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!!!

A: The new scent is not good. Smells like a bad air freshener.

A: The new Dawn scent is horrible. Something in that perfume is bad for people with fragrance sensitivities that never had a problem with original Dawn. Please go back to the tried and true original.

A: Talked to company today. Said the "original Dawn" has been replaced with "Clean Scent'. I told them when washing dishes this new scent caused a lung issue and I couldn't breathe.

A: This is a comment. The "new" Dawn scent smells terrible. I washed my smoothie cup with this and it smelled like perfume. I don't want my cups or dishes to smell or taste like perfume. The smell is overwhelming. Bring back the "original" scent. Does anyone have any recommendations for a different dishwashing liquid that doesn't smell like perfume?

A: Yes, please share what brand you moved to. I am boycotting P&G altogether due to the overabundance of perfume they are using, not only in Dawn but Tide, as well.

A: This new scent is disgusting, I cannot figure out why Dawn would change it's tried & true scent and make it smell like air freshener. Let them know! Bring back the original

A: What brand? I hate the smell as well. It won't rinse away. I cannot serve food or cook on dishes that smell like perfume.

A: Call P&G Customer Service give UPC code get money back on a debit card

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

A: We're so sorry you had this experience with the recent change in Dawn's Original Scent, and we hope you're feeling better, Danny and Sara.

A: The Dawn Ultra Original Scent has been upgraded, Kara. We recommend reaching out to Target directly to find out if they have the new clean scent.

A: We're happy to let you know that all P&G household cleaning products have been thoroughly evaluated to use in homes with septic tanks.

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. Our Dawn Antibacterial Hand Soap and Dishwashing Liquid only has antibacterial properties on skin, when used as directed.

A: We're sorry for this confusion, and hope you'll give Target a call to ask them which size they're stocking. Their number is 1 (800) 440-0680.

A: While we have not tested for that surface, you can check out the many uses of Dawn on our website!

A: It is safe to use our hand dish soap on stainless steel!
