We're sorry you're experiencing coughing while using the product. Please know that every ingredient, as well as the complete formula, is fully evaluated against the highest safety standard using the latest scientific approach for consumer safety. Although this is not a health concern, some consumers may experience a temporary tickle in their nose or throat when spraying Dawn Dish Spray. To avoid this occurring, use the product in a well-ventilated area and spray the product away from your face. It may also help to hold dishes at arm’s length to increase the distance between the spray and the nose and mouth. If you feel discomfort with the scent of the product, we recommend ventilating the room while using the product and/or discontinuing use. We’d like to learn more about your experience to further help with this. Please give our Dawn Team a call at 1-800-725-3296 from 9AM -- 6PM EST Monday–Friday.

We're very sorry you had that experience; it's not something that we expect to happen with our Dawn Powerwash. When it stops spraying there are a couple of things you should check. First, the bottle is not designed to be used in an upside-down position. If you've been doing that, try spraying it upright into the sink a couple of times. If the nozzle is clogged, run warm water over the nozzle for a few minutes to loosen any clogs that may have occurred. If it stops spraying when it is nearly empty, it could be that the dip tube doesn’t reach the solution or is facing in the wrong direction. The correct direction for the dip tube is in the same direction of the sprayer and the bottom of it should be in the corner.To change the direction of the dip tube, disconnect the sprayer from the bottle and reconnect it. Please let us know if you have any questions at (800) 725-3296.
