We're so sorry you're disappointed at finding a taste lingering on your dishes, Frugalmom. Extensive research and consumer testing goes into our products, and we can understand your disappointment at having this experience. We wouldn't expect Dawn to impart a taste 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 items made of cast iron and plastic items are known to absorb flavors. If you love our Powerwash but prefer a lighter scent, we recommend using our Dawn Powerwash Dish Spray Free & Clear (in the clear bottle) which has a significantly reduced amount of perfume. Your satisfaction matters, and our Dawn Team would like to learn more details of your experience to further help. Please give our Dawn Team a call at 1-800-725-3296 from 9AM -- 6PM EST Monday–Friday.

We always want you to be able to use our product with ease, so we're sorry to hear this wasn't the case with your recent Dawn Powerwash Dish Spray purchase. We'd like to learn more about your experience to share with our Quality and Safety Teams, so please give us a call at (800) 725-3296.

Thanks for sharing your experience with your apple-scented Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities, and we want to assure you that a temporary tickle in their nose or throat when spraying Dawn Dish Spray can happen, but it's not a health concern. To avoid this experience, use the dish spray in a well-ventilated area, away from your face. Another tip we can share is to give our Dawn Free & Clear with Light Pear scent a try. It may be the perfect option for you. Speaking of the trigger concerns you've had, be sure the yellow circle, made between the nozzle and top of the spray, is visible. The yellow circle must be lined up exactly in order for the trigger to spray easily. If the yellow circle is off, even by a little bit, it can permanently damage the trigger. Once damaged, the trigger may continue to bend even when lining up the circle. We'd be happy to talk further with you about this, call us any Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 6 PM, EST. Our number is 1 (800) 725-3296.

We're sorry you're having this experience, since our products do go through many quality checks. We'd be happy to share some tips to help get your Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray spraying as it should! First, please make sure that the trigger is unlocked. When the cutouts on the top are matched up and the yellow shape is completed, then it's unlocked. Next, the bottle may need 3-5 full trigger pulls in order to begin spraying. As well, we suggest squeezing the body of the bottle while pulling the trigger, since this should force out any trapped air. We hope this helps. Your satisfaction means the world to us, so please give us a call at (800) 725-3296 if you continue to have trouble with it spraying.
