Q: Why has Dreft changed the scent of the Newborn formula? It stinks. I have a 4yr old so we last used Dreft circa 2017/2018 & it was truly a light baby powder fresh scent. M I have no other words for it. It stinks. Please go back to original scent.

This detergent smells too strong! Imagine what the new baby is experiencing coming into the world and being bombarded by this aroma. Plus it probably causes lots of eczema. I am returning it and going back to something unscented and gentle. Also- it’s impossible to wash the smell out! I regret this purchase. Though I have to say it got a stain out of a blanket that looked like it had been there for a very long time.

I can't believe this detergent is for babies. The smell is so strong for an adult that I can't imagine what it can do to a newborn’s nose. I am not a person sensitive to fragrances but there is something in this detergent that irritated my nose and throat while I was folding my baby's clothes so I had to rewash them all.
1 reply from Dreft team - 8 days ago
Firstly, thank you so much for giving our detergent a try. We're so sorry to hear that you found the scent too strong and what happened to your nose and throat. While things like scent preferences will vary by person, you can be assured we don't expect your nose and throat to be irritated, especially with our safety checks. For now, please discontinue using this detergent. While all of our products have been tested to be safe when used as directed, you may not be able to tolerate this specific version. We'd like to share more about our Dreft Purtouch as it is an unscented detergent and our Dreft Pure Gentleness as it is fragrance-free and make a detailed report to our Safety Team. Please call us at (800) 436-2229.

Gentle and Effective with Dreft Laundry Detergent

5 out of 5 stars
yenphan97 - 1 month ago
originally posted on influenster.com
Dreft Laundry Detergent is a true champion when it comes to handling the delicate task of washing baby's clothes. It's specifically designed for a baby's sensitive skin, being hypoallergenic and free from harsh chemicals. One of Dreft's outstanding features is its ability to effectively remove various common stains - from food to diaper incidents. Despite its gentle formulation, it doesn't compromise on cleaning power, leaving baby clothes and bedding spotless and fresh. The light, baby-friendly scent of Dreft is another highlight. It adds a pleasant smell without being overpowering or potentially irritating to sensitive noses. However, if you're someone who prefers unscented products for your baby, this might be something to consider. As for the downside, Dreft is relatively pricier compared to other laundry detergents on the market. But considering its specialty formulation and excellent performance, many parents find the cost justifiable. All in all, Dreft Laundry Detergent lives up to its reputation as a trusted choice for baby laundry, providing a delicate balance of gentle care and effective cleaning.

Jc - 2 months ago
I can’t believe Dreft hasn’t gone back to the original scent/formula. They switched to a new scent 2-3 years ago and the smell is awful and over powering. Who would wash their baby’s clothes in something so overly scented? I returned my bottle immediately. Due to the many bad reviews I’ve seen everywhere and even an online petition to bring back the old scent, I checked to see if the maker of Dreft came to their senses and switched back to the product their customers want. Clearly not. It’s inexplicable!
1 reply from Dreft team - 1 month ago
Jc, we're so sorry that you're missing our original scent. When we made the change back in 2019, we did extensive testing to get it just right for both parents and newborns, so be assured your feedback is something we take to heart. We'd love to hear from you about this and help, so when you have a moment, please call us at (800) 436-2229.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I hands down love this laundry detergent for my babies. The scent is light and like no other, it smells so good. It makes their laundry feel soft and is I've noticed its been able to lift out some light stains on their clothes. It has no color and is easy measure using the provided lid/cup. I recommend this detergent to anyone having a baby and will purchase as gifts and for myself for time to come.
