Your comments will be shared with our team, and we do recommend discontinuing use of this particular product, if you haven't already.

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

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: 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: TARGET please remove this choice, YOU are NOT shipping the Original Scent Dawn, it was discontinued July 2024 per P&G. They "Clean"" Scent STINKS, JUST AWFUL. CAUTION, !!

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.

A: Agree and the new scent smells awful I had to throw it away!

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: Nor their "original" dawn scent. They changed the scent and the forumla. The new forumula made my hands sting and itch and hated the smell. I used my beloved Dawn for 30 years, now switched brands.

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

A: It smells awful what are you changing too. I also agree that the Tide smells !

A: And the taste doesn't wash off. I'm gonna miss you old Dawn. You are losing customers.

A: I got a headache too. Why do companies mess with a classic with strongs sales. Switched brands.

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: No they stopped making it in 2024 and now this stuff smells and you waste tons of water trying to get ride of the taste when all you used was a tiny dot on wet hands to wash something. I thought people exaggerated. They did not. It's terrible. I'm done.
