Great as a cleaning product, bad for dishes
I wish someone at Dawn would wake up and realize most people Do Not want so much perfume in their soap. Dawn is a really great cleaning product. I've used Dawn for years as an all purpose cleaner mixed with vinegar and water. It does a great job on windows, in bathrooms and the kitchen. I was a restaurant manager for years and this was our major cleaning product. It does do a good job on dishes but Holy Cow the perfume is horrible, the scent is so strong it's overpowering to people who are sensitive to odors. It does not always rinse clean off of dishes. The only thing more gross than tasting soap on your silverware is feeling crusted on left over food. If unscented Dawn was available I'd use it exclusively even if it was only lightly scented I'd probably use it exclusively but when my dish water smells like my grandmother's dresser drawers I'm only going to use it when it's diluted with water and vinegar.
Awful new scent
As others have mentioned, I have been using Dawn Platinum for years. It no longer seems to clean as welI and the new scent is vile. I recently tried one of the Power washes but didn't notice the scent I chose. Also awful and couldn't wait to finish. Bought Power wash in Fresh Scent but thought I'd try the Platinum again since all the squeezing can be annoying. After I transferred the Platinum detergent to a smaller bottle, had to go look at the refill size bottle to see if something was wrong. Well, not at all a fan of your change and now stuck with a giant bottle.

Strange scent
I am a loyal user of regular Dawn, I love it's grease cutting properties and it has been my favorite dish soap for many years. I recently purchased the Dawn Platinum refreshing rain scent. Although it cleans well, it has a horrible scent, I thought there was something moldy in the kitchen, it took me a while to realize it was the dish soap!

ABSOLUTELY GROSS
The most disgusting scent ever. It smells like rotten garbage. It's literally making me sick. I have been using Dawn on grease stains for my laundry for as long as I can remember, and I will now have to find something else. Some spilled in my driveway, and in the morning I nearly puked after smelling it. When did they change this? Horrendous.
Thank you for sharing your experience with your bottle of Dawn Platinum Dish Soap with Refreshing Rain scent. Because the fragrance of “Refreshing Rain” hasn’t changed since 2022, we’re confused about your review. The only change that's recently changed regarding this soap is the name of the scent. We dropped the "Re" and kept the rest, naming it, "Fresh Rain". Whichever dish soap you purchased, please be assured that we thoroughly test all of our ingredients for safety before we use them in a product, and this is not something we would expect. Safety is our top priority and based on what you shared we do recommend discontinuing use of this Dawn. We hope you'll give our Dawn E-Z Squeeze Free & Clear Fragrance-Free a try, as it has all of the cleaning power of Dawn with no added scent. 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.
This is a great dish soap to have! It's slightly thicker than regular dish soap, which makes it last longer in my opinion. It smells fresh and clean but not overpowering or artificial. It's also really tough on grease, which is awesome. I highly reccommend this!
New formula ruined it
I have sworn by Dawn products for years now and the new formula for the platinum dish soap was so nauseating and rancid smelling that I threw the whole bottle out. I tried to get through it but I just couldn’t do it. I Switched to the Gain dish soap and it is much more pleasant, though doesn’t suds up as good as Dawn. I suggest the team go back to the drawing board on this formula because there are a lot of unhappy customers.
We hear you and are sorry you aren't happy with our formula update. Your satisfaction means the world to us, and we will be sure to pass your feedback along to the rest of our team. Your comments will help with our research. So we can learn more, please call us at (800) 725-3296 when you have a moment.
I love Dawn products and don't think I'll ever stay. I've used Dawn since I was a teen ... many moons ago ... and can say the Ultra Platinum is the best. The dishwashing liquid takes off hard to get to stains and leaves my pots and pans shiny. Price point seems average, but you can always find a coupon or two. Would definitely purchase this dish liquid again.
If it ain't broke...don't fix it!!
I've been a diehard fan of "blue Dawn" for years. The scent was mild and not overpowering and it was the best at cleaning the dishes! I've also ised it MANY times in concoction with other ingredients to care for skunked doggies. I bought a bottle the other day...the scent is nauseating and I don't know why! My apologies...but if it ain't broke...don't fix it!!

Baked-on food? Greasy residue? Here are tips for making dish cleanup a little easier when hand-washing your dishes. Get the cleanest of clean: Wash simple glasses and flatware first, and save the dirtiest pots and pans for last. This cleanest-to-dirtiest order helps keep grease and other residue from making a mess of your kitchen sink. Don't go scrub crazy: Let a powerful dish soap do most of the work for you. Use Dawn Platinum because it provides the power of an overnight soak in just 3 minutes. To finish the job on heavy metal and untreated pots and pans, try a scouring pad. But for ceramic, glass, aluminum, and enameled or nonstick pots and pans, reach for a less abrasive nylon-mesh pad. Water line woes: When glass vases and pitchers develop water lines or hard-water spots, try rubbing the line with a lemon half with the seeds removed. If the water line remains, soak the glass overnight in a bath of white vinegar and water, and then hand-wash. Uncloud crystal: Because crystal is softer than glass, its surface is easier to scratch. And crystal pieces cannot withstand extreme temperatures, so don’t put them in the dishwasher. Your best bet for maintaining their sparkle is to line your sink with a towel and gently wash crystal with dishwashing liquid and warm water. Get brilliant baby bottles: Use some dish liquid and some warm water to clean your dishes and your baby bottles. As always, be sure to read the usage instructions on the baby bottles before you wash. Description Think all dish soaps are the same? Think again. Dawn Ultra has 2X MORE Grease Cleaning Power per drop,* so you can get through more dishes with less.

Refreshing Rain Scent
I only buy Dawn because I love how it smells and performs. However, the Refreshing Rain Scent is the stickies smell EVER! I love the original scent. The Rain Scent smells like the dollar store brand that I had to get on a recent vacation. I couldn't wait to get through that bottle and bought some Dawn. To my dismay that RR Scent smells like that stinky stuff. Please don't stop making the original Scent. I use Dawn all over my house and that fresh original scent makes everything smell so nice.
