Q: What does this smell like? How is this "free and clear" if fragrance is added?

submitted by Cat Lover - 3 years ago
  • A: Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray Free & Clear is free of dyes and strong perfumes. It has a light pear scent.

    submitted byDawn - 2 years ago

  • A: To me it smelled like whiskey. I threw out my sponge & laundered my cloth thinking they had gone funky?! Later realized it was the soap. To be fair..one roommate agreed and the other did not.

    submitted bytippy - 2 years ago

Q: Is this paraben free?

submitted by meow4life - 2 months ago

Q: CAn i spray this on my dishes before i put them in the dishwasher to wash?

submitted by lag - 8 months ago
  • A: Like traditional dish soaps, Dawn Dish Spray is not designed for use in the dishwasher. The high level of suds could cause your dishwasher to oversuds and create a mess.

Q: Why is this marketed as "free and clear," which for about 20 years has meant fragrance-free and dye-free? I bought this thinking it was actually "free and clear" and couldn't use it. Inconvenient!

submitted by Allergen sensitive - 2 years ago
  • A: The free & clear description of Dawn Platinum Powerwash Spray, Free & Clear version, refers to the fact that no dyes are added, so you can clearly see through the soap, free of coloration. The fragrance of Dawn Platinum Powerwash Spray, Free & Clear is a light pear.

Q: Does it come with a refill?

submitted by Luna - 2 years ago
  • A: Thank you, Luna, for reaching out to us and asking if your Dawn Platinum Powerwash Spray, Free & Clear Starter Kit, comes with a refill. It should, but the pictures and price on this particular one makes us think it may be misidentified. We encourage you to call Target and ask them if this particular listing includes a refill, or if it's a non-refill Powerwash bottle. Their number is 1 (800) 440-0680.

The recent changes to Dawn dish soap have left many guests disappointed, particularly due to the new scent that has been described as overpowering and unpleasant. While guests appreciate the cleaning power of the product, the fragrance has caused them to seek alternatives.

    Horrible scent

    Aj2024 - 12 days ago
    originally posted on dawn-dish.com
    The new scent is horrible and offensive. I had to air out my kitchen and the horrible fragrance took hours to dissipate. This new scent is extremely unpleasant and way too intense. Since so many consumers like myself have fragrance sensitivity, I really do not understand why you do not make an unscented version.

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Dawn Platinum Power Clean with Vibrant Fresh scent. We're sorry you're not a fan of this new scent, but because scent preference can be very personal, we understand not every fragrance is liked by all. 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. Great news, we do have an unscented dish soap. Give 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.

    Free and Clear isn’t always free and Clear!

    Don’t list items Free and Clear when they have added scents/fragrances. It is So Misleading. I only use unscented products. So even if you think it is lightly scented it isn’t for someone who is highly sensitive to fragrances.
    1 reply from Customer Care team - 17 days ago
    Thanks for your review and feedback on Dawn Powerwash Free & Clear. Although it's made with a light pear scent, it is free of dyes. Nonetheless, we'll be sure to share your report with our Product Quality Team. If you'd like any help getting a different Dawn bottle, please call us at (800) 725-3296.

    HATE the new “Clean Scent”

    1 out of 5 stars
    Former Dawn Fan - 18 days ago
    originally posted on dawn-dish.com
    Hate the new “clean” scent. It smells like laundry detergent (eww!). Not the scent that I want to smell when taking a drink of water from a freshly washed glass. Makes me concerned what nasty chemicals are hiding in the new fragrance. I’ve been a devoted and loyal Dawn fan(atic) for decades. No other dish soap would ever enter our house. But now I’m devastated because we have to find a new dish soap. I threw out the large Dawn we just purchased because of the new fragrance - we have kids who are sensitive to fragrances and Dawn was always the safe option. Not any more. Massively disappointed. Please bring back the original scent!!!!!!!
    1 reply from Customer Care team - 16 days ago
    We're so sorry to learn that you don't like Dawn Platinum's new scent and that your family members have sensitivities to it. Because our consumers' safety takes precedence over everything else we do, please discontinue using this particular Dawn version going forward. While we don't have plans to bring back the old scent at this time, we'd love to help make this right for you by replacing your discarded bottle with a different one we think you'll enjoy. Kindly give us a call at (800) 725-3296.

    Dawn's New Perfume-y Scent is Appalling & Caustic

    The new scent is appalling. For over 20 years, I've stood by Dawn Dish Soap because I'm sensitive to perfume-y scented soaps/detergents. I'm baffled why the corporation would change to this new caustic scent that offends on every level. PLEASE BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL.

    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.

    I've been an avid Dawn user and trusted it to clean my baby's dishes, but I just bought the Platinum new scent and it is terrible. It has a horrid chemical smell with a lingering rancid smell. I will no longer be buying Dawn sadly. Please go back to the original fragrance!

    Smell is overpowering and nauseating

    1 out of 5 stars
    The Momma - 27 days ago
    originally posted on dawn-dish.com
    What happened to the old Dawn Platinum? The new Dawn Platinum smells so bad it’s nauseating. My husband usually never complains about product smells but he wouldn’t stop talking about how the new Dawn smells so overpowering. He also commented how he washed a knife and used it to cut an orange and then could taste the soap while eating the orange. We notice that you can’t rinse it out completely on dish clothes and they turn sour over night. We basically chucked the huge new bottle down the drain.

    Thank you for sharing your experience with Dawn Platinum Power Clean Dishwashing Liquid with Vibrant Fresh scent. Please be assured that we thoroughly test all of our ingredients for safety before we use them in a product, and the experience you've shared isn't what we expect. Our Safety Team shares that we don't expect Dawn to impart its fragrance into food. 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 it may be time to consider retiring them. 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.

    Your safety is out top priority, and we're very sorry your recently purchased bottle of Dawn Platinum Dishwashing Soap with Vibrant Fresh scent isn't working out for you. Because our Safety Team works very hard to make sure all of our consumers get the best products possible, ensuring every ingredient and final product meets our safety standards, we never expect consumers to experience what you've shared. Please, stop using this dish soap so you'll stay safe; put the remaining product in a safe spot where it won't be used or thrown away. Then, call us for more help with this purchase. We're here Mondays through Fridays, from 9 AM to 6 PM, EST. Our number is 1 (800) 725-3296.

    I've used dawn my whole life and never thought twice about it. It smelled like soap. I just bought a new refill size bottle and it has a horrible perfume smell. I seriously hope that it doesn't leave my dishes smelling like the soap because it's nauseating.

    Horrible smell. Why change it? I couldn't figure out what the perfume smell was in our sink - I didn't think it was Dawn because it never smelled like this. But sure enough, that's what it was. It also lingers- it's outside (we keep the larger container in the garage). It smells like someone dumped a whole bottle outside. I don't think I noticed the smell before this new "fresh new scent"

    I have used Dawn for many years. I’m very unhappy with the “New Fresh Scent” it smells like perfume and lingers on dishes. I’ve been unable to locate the original scent. I’m hoping you will bring back the original scent. If this change is permanent I’m afraid I’ll have to find another brand.
