We are sorry you had this experience with your Dawn Platinum Dishwashing Liquid. We did have a formula update but wouldn't expect this to be a result of it. It's possible that cleaning ingredients from dish soap can become trapped in a dishcloth or sponge. Over time, these ingredients can break down and cause a malodor. For best results, follow these tips: * Don't allow the washcloth or sponge to soak in the water. * Thoroughly rinse the cloth or sponge and allow it to dry after each use. * Launder your dishcloth in the hottest water, safe for the fabric, and bleach, if safe for the fabric. Sponges can be washed in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher's top rack. So we can get you back to sparkling clean dishes, please call us at (800) 725-3296 when you have a moment.

We're very sorry to learn of your experience with Dawn Platinum Refreshing Rain Dishwashing Liquid, Sammy. Please know, your safety is our top priority, and all our products are thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed. We hope you're feeling better and we recommend discontinuing use of this dish soap to avoid any further reactions. All this being said, we want to clear up any confusion, as the formula of Dawn Platinum Refreshing Rain hasn’t changed since June, 2022. We did however update the name of the scent, dropping the “re”, so it’s now just “Dawn Platinum Fresh Rain”. In regard to the scent lingering on dishes, we wouldn't expect this to be your experience either, 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 should be washed by hand. It might help to know that cast iron and plastic items can absorb flavors. To remove the scent/taste, please soak the dishes in hot water with some distilled white vinegar added. 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.
