FORMULA CHANGED 😡😡😡

This formula is completely different, they want us to believe it was just the scent but its now super runny and not as effective at all. The absolute worst thing about the change is definitely the smell as EVERYBODY is mentioning. Returning and switching brands! DAWN, yall had a great run but I believe you ended yourselves with this mistake.

reply from Dawn

We're sorry to hear that this has been your experience with our Dawn Platinum, as we do have strict quality checks in place to ensure that our products reach you in the best possible condition. We'd like to mention that while our Dawn Platinum Refreshing Rain now goes by Dawn Platinum Fresh Rain, no scent change has taken place. This was only a name change. As well, we've made no recent changes to the formula. We'll make sure that your feedback is shared with our team, and we do recommend giving another Dawn version a try if you'd prefer a different scent. You're always welcome to give us a call at (800) 725-3296 if there's anything more we can assist you with.

Allergic to the new scent

I bought this and didn't notice it wasn't the original, after 2 days of sneezing my head off in the kitchen I realized it was the dawn. I hadn't done dishes for a day and as soon as I opened it the sneezing started. Wish those out there that are sensitive to scents that Sam's would put something on the shelf at the store to let people know it's a new scent.

Does it's job but the scent changed

The soap does it's job at removing grease and cleaning your dishes but the most recent bottle I purchased has a different scent. It smells like really inexpensive perfume and it's not a great scent it's actually made me reconsider if I'm going to keep purchasing this item.

New formula has unpleasant odor

Always used Dawn liquid but I cannot stand the new refreshing rain scent in the 4x platinum formula. I always keep a supply of Dawn on hand but now find myself with 3 big 90 oz bottles of the stuff that stinks like stink bugs whenever I use it, it is nauseating to me. Whatever we’re the Dawn people thinking with this scent, they missed the mark big time. Can no longer recommend this product.

Not good

I bought this a while back since there was no regular dawn dish soap thinking it will do as good or better. NOT!! I am really disappointed, there's no suds, my pots remain oily, I literally have to use clorox spray to take the residue off. No I do not recommend this dish soap!! It is not powerful as it states!!

reply from Supplier Response

We're sorry that you're feeling disappointed, Nita, since our Dawn Platinum features 4X more grease-cleaning power to ensure that you can enjoy an easy and effective clean. We'd like to mention that a lack of suds doesn't mean that the product isn't cleaning your dishes. Even if there are very few suds, the solution will carry on cleaning the dishes If you'd like to increase the amount of suds, add the dishwashing liquid to the sink before you add the water, run your tap at high pressure, and swish the solution with your hands to get the level of suds you prefer. Hard water, which contains a lot of dissolved minerals, is the number one cause of reduced effectiveness. If you live in a hard-water area, you may need to use more dishwashing liquid. Another cause of dishwashing liquid not cleaning effectively is the water temperature being too low. Water should be 105 to 115°F (40.56 to 46.11°C). We hope this helps, and please give us a call at (800) 725-3296 if you have any questions.

Dawn let down

My husband passed 5 years ago so I decided to sell our camper in march of this year. I had almost a full big bottle so I used it. The new stuff Dawn Platinum 4x power isn't no where as good as the original Dawn from about 6 years ago. I about to start looking for a new brand. My Dawn from the camper was way thicker also. I'm so sad about changing to a different brand.

New scent is yuck!

I love Dawn dish soap and have used it for years but the last bottle I bought at Sam's has a new fragrance and it's overpowering. I don't want my dishes to smell like perfume and it lingers on my hands after I've rinsed and rinsed. I won't be buying it again.

Not the same

Have used Dawn for years with great results but the last couple of bottles have been runnier and not as good as previous bottles plus the price has increased. It has become a bargain basement product with a premium price. Will be switching to something else for future use.

reply from Supplier Response

The viscosity of our hand dish soaps has not changed, Pen, and we're sad to learn the last couple of bottles you picked up up seemed thinner than usual. Sometimes, this happens if the bottle went through an extreme temperature change. If this happens, usually the soap will return to this regular thickness, but if it doesn't, it can affect the performance of the soap. We hope you'll give us a chance to make this right. Give us a call any Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 6 PM, EST. Our number is 1 (800) 725-3296; call when you can.

Cuts grease

I’ve used Dawn since I was a little girl helping my mom wash dishes. That was over 35 years ago and it’s still the only soap I buy at home. A little goes a long way. The only negative thing has nothing to do with the product. The shipping department did a very poor job packaging the product. They put in a bag and added some brown filler that wasn’t enough padding. The box was in tact, but the bottle busted and leaked in the bag. There should be better quality control in shipping.

Too strong of a scent

Dawn has changed their scent and it is so strong we had to open the windows to air out our kitchen. It works as it is supposed to but I can still smell it on the dishes even if rinsed multiple times. If scents don't bother you then you won't have a problem, if you are scent sensitive stay away.

reply from Dawn

We thank you for sharing your feedback on our recent change to Dawn Ultra Original. We know this is the first change in over 10 years, and that scent preference can be very personal. We're sorry to hear you are not a fan of the new scent. Please rest assured that we value your feedback greatly, and we will relay it to our Research and Development team. We'd recommend giving 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 and help you locate this version of Dawn. Please give us a call at (800) 725-3296 Monday-Friday 9 AM - 6 PM EST.
