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: 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, !!

    submitted byWINDY17 - 6 months ago
  • 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.

    submitted byHadabuckCO - 11 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!!!

  • 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. So that we can learn more about your experience and gather some additional details for our Safety Team, please give us a call at (800) 725-3296 when you can.

  • 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.

    submitted byEj - 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 garnettguy21 - 1 year ago

submitted by Kara - 1 year ago
  • 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.

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

  • 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.

    The only 5-star reviews here are from influenster.com, and your actual customers all rate it 1-star because of the scent. Stop trying to boost the rating with fake reviews. The smell is terrible, you know it, and you are bleeding customers to competitors. If you have any hope of recovering your customers, you need to admit you are wrong and bring back the old scent. And, no, the Fragrance Free one you suggest as an alternative is not the answer

    Been using dawn for years and just started a new bottle a few days ago. Noticed a new scent that that is much stronger than before, and lasts in the air much longer after washing dishes. I switched to dawn a while back for a good cleaning dish soap with a mild aroma so as not to being as off-putting when needing to clean pets and/or their dishes or surroundings. I'll have to see if I can return this now-opened bottle (as it wasn't labeled any different than last one with the original scent), but regardless, I guess dawn doesn't want pet owner's business anymore smh.

    This new formula is HORRIBLE!!! It reeks, gives me a headache and the horrid scent lingers on dishes even rinsed repeatedly. Used it for ONE sink of dishes, not realizing it was so very different until I couldn't figure out what the awful smell was... returned to store and will never buy again. WHY would you change this?? How are animal/kitten rescuers still using this to bathe baby animals with? I can imagine it's not safe for them at all if it causes headaches for humans!

    We're sorry the new scent isn't appealing to you, and that you're experiencing headaches. Extensive research and consumer testing goes into our products to create appealing dish soap options for our consumers, and all our ingredients, including perfumes, are extensively evaluated for safety and are safe for use as directed. This includes the use of Dawn for emergency first-aid intervention by trained professionals in accidental exposures of animals. However, because you're experiencing headaches, we recommend that you discontinue use of this scent. We also hear your concerns about the scent lingering on your dishes, and there could be a few potential causes. Over time, dish soap buildup can accumulate on dishes. Also, if you have hard water, it can interfere with the effectiveness of the soap and leave behind residue (using a water filter may help). For best results, add about 2 tablespoons of dish soap to the sink, then add water that’s 105-115°F. We don't recommend leaving dishes to soak long term, but to wash promptly, and rinse the dishes thoroughly with clean water. We take your report to heart, and our Dawn Team would like to learn more about your experience to further assist you. Please give us a call at 1-800-725-3296 from 9AM -- 6PM EST Monday–Friday.

    You have ruined the best dish soap ever created. The original Dawn that you sold for years was perfect the smell was very comforting and it smelled so clean. It was not only a great cleaner for dishes and pots and pans but it also freshened up toilets and was a great floor cleaner. The smell was perfect for people with allergies and it was so light and no one ever had complaints about it. It was the reason you sold so well for 50 years. Suddenly you changed it and now we have this. This new dish soap that you sell is nasty. The worst part about it is the strong musty smell it has. The smell lingers on dishes and I could smell it on my frying pan one morning when cooking my eggs and that was it for me. I started buying seventh generation dish soap and that stuff works perfect. I no longer use your product and I would only go back to it one day if you went back to the original scent. The current scent you are using smells so bad and the key words I would describe it as is musty, overly strong and terribly unpleasant. Whoever works in your lab needs their head examined.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Dawn Original Dishwashing Liquid is a classic for a reason—it cuts through grease effortlessly and leaves dishes sparkling clean. A little goes a long way, making it both powerful and economical. I love how gentle it is on my hands while still being tough on stuck-on food. The fresh, clean scent adds a nice touch to everyday dishwashing. It’s a reliable kitchen essential that never disappoints.

    As someone who's been doing the dishes for what feels like a lifetime, I can confidently say that Dawn Dish Soap Original stands out in the crowded market of dishwashing detergents. From the moment you squeeze the bottle, the distinct, fresh lemon scent fills the air, creating a pleasant aroma that lingers throughout the kitchen. The color is a cheerful blue, making it visually appealing on the sink. When it comes to performance, Dawn truly shines. A little goes a long way—just a small drop is enough to create a rich lather that cuts through grease and stubborn food residues easily. I often find myself tackling pots and pans that have been caked with burnt-on grease, and Dawn handles the job effortlessly. The soap doesn't just clean well; it rinses off easily too, leaving no soapy residue behind, which is a big plus in maintaining my dishware's shine. Moreover, I've noticed that it's gentle enough on my hands, which is a significant consideration for someone who washes a lot of dishes. It doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry or irritated, which can be a concern with other brands. I also appreciate that Dawn has a reputation for being environmentally conscious, often working with organizations like the Wildlife Rehabilitation Program to help injured animals affected by oil spills. This makes me feel good about using their product. Overall, Dawn Dish Soap Original is a reliable kitchen staple. It effectively cuts through grime, smells great, is gentle on skin, and reflects a commitment to environmental responsibility. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an efficient and trustworthy dish soap.

    Had been the best but the new scent is overpowering. I reached out to customer care first because I assumed it had to be a manufacturing error but then when I went to buy I replacement I found they're all like that now. I've used Dawn Original for many years and while the soap itself is effective, I can't use it anymore from the ridiculous amount of perfume. Makes me sneeze while doing the dishes, the whole house smells for at least half a day, and no matter how much I rinse out the dishcloth after, the hamper smells of it until the wash is done. I hope they have some sense and return to the old fragrance. And announce that they do, because I'll be using another brand until then. The rest of this bottle will have to go.

    I bought a new bottle of “original” dawn after my gallon jug ran out and INSTANTLY knew there was something HORRIBLY wrong with the smell. I thought I bought the wrong thing but after digging I realized the original dawn no longer exists. I literally couldn’t use it without gagging so in the trash it went. Not just the kitchen trash but all the way to the outside trash can. I wish there would have been an uprising about the scent change as much as the Cracker Barrel logo change.

    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.

    Just bought a new bottle of Dawn Ultra, apparently the same one that I have always been buying. The new scent added to it is very strong and lingers on the dishes, especially anything plastic. The previous version did not do this. Very disappointing. I will throw this bottle out and will not buy again.

    We're sorry you're disappointed with the change in fragrance, Flyboy. Extensive research and consumer testing goes into our products to create appealing features, and our products undergo stringent quality controls to ensure performance and safety. When the soap scent lingers on your dishes, there could be a few potential causes for this happening. Over time, dish soap buildup can accumulate on dishes, especially if they’re not rinsed thoroughly or if you have hard water which can interfere with the effectiveness of the soap and leave behind residue. Also, if certain items always pick up a flavor, they're probably worn to the point of being porous, such as items made of cast iron and plastic, and we recommend that you do not soak these items. For best results, add about 2 tablespoons of dish soap to the sink, then add water that’s 105-115°F. Finally, be sure to rinse the dishes thoroughly with clean water. We take your satisfaction very seriously, and our Dawn Team would like to learn more about your experience to further assist you. Please give us a call at 1-800-725-3296 from 9AM -- 6PM EST Monday–Friday.

    Dawn Dish Soap is my go-to for tackling tough grease and everyday cleaning. It cuts through messes quickly and leaves dishes sparkling clean. A little goes a long way, making it both effective and reliable. Not to mention - the scent is great too. Leaves my whole kitchen smelling fresh and clean.

    At first I thought it was me, and then I went to the Internet and did a search for "have they changed the scent of Dawn Ultra". What a rabbit hole. I am not as scent sensitive as some, but I am scent sensitive, particularly when it comes to cleaning and personal care products. This may be the first "change in 10 years" but you are about to lose a significant portion of your loyal customer base who cannot abide the lingering, cloying, new scent. And, of course I've purchased a big bottle. This new scent is giving me headaches. I currently have the kitchen door and windows open in an effort to dissipate it. My stomach is churning. Why would you RUIN a product that was a staple for your customers. Never again. And, don't even suggest the "No Scent" version - I've sniffed it. Definitely not my idea of "no scent".

    There's nothing more important to us than our users safety and satisfaction, so we're very sorry to hear that you had this experience. We're always looking for ways to improve your users dishwashing experience, so we made the scent change to this dish soap after receiving positive feedback during extensive consumer testing. While scent preferences and perceptions will vary from person to person, we never expect it to make your stomach churn especially with our safety checks. Because you had this experience, we ask that you discontinue using it. It may be possible that you used one of our lightly-scented Free & Clear Dish Soaps. However, we do have a fragrance-free version with our Dawn E-Z Squeeze Free & Clear Fragrance-Free Dish Soap. We'd like to connect about this, make a report to our Quality and Safety Teams, tell you more about this dish soap, and help. Please call us at (800) 725-3296.

    Dawn is a little pricier, it cuts grease better than any other A small amount goes a long way, smells fresh, and I love that it’s safe enough to use on wildlife. Great value
