Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience with Dawn Platinum Plus Powerwash Dish Spray with Fresh Scent. We always expect consumers will be happy with both the performance and fragrance of our Dish Soaps, and do apologize that you found the scent not to your liking. Dishes that have been well-loved can grow porous over time, and can begin to absorb fragrances. If that's what's happened here, try soaking any affected dishes in a hot water/distilled white vinegar soak. This process may need to be repeated, but it will remove the scent. In the future, try not to use Powerwash on plastic dishes. Give us an update, and get help picking up a different version of Dawn Powerwash, by calling us any Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 6 PM, EST. Our number is 1 (800) 725-3296.
