New "Scent" is terrible. Will no longer purchase.

We used this product for many years. It was a great product. It has been ruined with these "Scents". You have ruined a very good product. Why? We must open all windows after use. Remaining product will be used to wash the car. Will not purchase again unless this changes.

Very disappointing smells horrid

I bought a giant bottle and Nirmal bottle of this because I absolutely love the smell of rain. It doesn't smell like rain and it has a very unpleasant scent. Hard to pinpoint. Almost like an old bandaid or something. Dawn is usually so fresh and clean smelling. What happened?!

Thanks for sharing this with us. We are sorry that you aren't enjoying the Refreshing Rain Scent as expected. We did have a slight increase to our scent along with an upgraded formula in February 2022, but we wouldn't expect this to be a result. So we can learn more about your experience, please call us at (800) 725-3296 when you have a moment.

Terrible new scent: call it an odor really.

I don't know if it is just the dawn platinum but I have a new bottle of Dawn Ultra labeled as 50% less scrubbing and the SCENT REALLY AN ODOR is horrible. I have paid for the bottle so I will use it but I am actually wearing a mask in order to use the product. Additionally, my dishes and pots keep the fragrance after rinsing: I waste so much water now trying hard to rid my dishes/pots of the new scent which lingers. Are Dawn developers crazy: They had the best product ever and as much as I would love to buy Dawn again as I always did I am afraid to buy another bottle due to the horrible scent/smell/odor and so now I have to look for a new product

New scent??

I have been using the Dawn Ultra Platinum for years now and just opened a new bottle (the large 90oz one from Sam’s) and I had to review the label a dozen+ times to make sure I got the correct one. It’s the same, but it smells AWFUL! Is this just a bad batch, or have they changed the scent? The previous scent, along with its cleaning power, is one huge reason I loved this soap, as I am extremely particular. Now, it smells like a rotten strawberry banana bandaid that’s been left in the Vegas heat for 5 minutes too long.

You should have no worries about clean dishes or smells that aren't pleasing, when you trust Dawn to help you with typical clean up, we're sorry to learn you're not happy with the changes we made in February 2022 to Dawn Platinum. At that time, we updated the soaps grease and mess-fighting power. Plus, we slightly increased the fragrance, as you've noticed. We don't expect the experience you've had, and we'd be happy to talk with you and help you as best we can. Give us a jingle at 1 (800) 725-3296; calls are answered between the hours of 9 AM and 6 PM, EST, Mondays through Fridays.

Horrible Scent

I've been using Dawn for many years. Loved it. Just purchased a new bottle, and the new scent is terrible. Overly perfumey and the smell sticks to the dishes. And worse than that, it no longer gets my dishes " squeaky clean", as there is now a slippery residue left on the dishes, no matter how many times you rinse. My husband even noticed it. It is now just like all of the other dish soaps I left by the wayside. If you want to offer a new scent, fine, but please also offer the option of original formula, original scent Dawn.

Firstly, thank you and your husband so much for being loyal Dawn users. We're very sorry that your last bottle didn't have that same scent you have come to know, love, and trust over the years. Our goal is for you to enjoy doing the dishes, and enjoy how clean your dishes get, so be assured this isn't what we expect. You may need to simply use more dish soap to get your dishes clean, but if there's residue on the dishes, we recommend soaking those dishes. We'd love to gather some additional details for our team and help. Please call us at (800) 725-3296.

A great product and well worth the money

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the smell of Dawn Platinum. It works great on dishes and it also an excellent pre treater for clothes. I've gotten many stains out of clothes with Dawn. It laso uses less so I not only save money, but Ican wash more duishes on a snmall amount. The scent is heavenly and makes dish washing actually relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommened any Dawn product.

Strong Smell

The refreshing rain is not a pleasant smell to wash with. I do not know how they could call it refreshing or anything to do with rain. I do not mind doing dishes but with this fragrance it made it a chore. Why having a overpowering sent for dishes is beyond me. Giving this away and replacing with something else. Go back to original and hopefully does not bring up a PLATINUM bad smell flashback.

Bring back the original scent!!!

I love the powerful dishwashing of Dawn Platinum, but I was so displeased to have purchased what I thought was the original scent (since the color and packaging seemed to be the same) only to find that the scent had changed to "Refreshing Rain". It is not refreshing. Please bring back the old scent. There was NOTHING wrong with the original scent. It was a proven winner, so why mess with a good thing? Looks like I am not alone in this opinion, judging by other reviews left here.

Horrible Horrible new scent

I've been buying dawn for many many years. The only dish soap I've been willing to purchase. That is until a couple of months ago. No more..NOT EVER will I buy dawn again if it stays as it is now. The smell of this new scent is horrific. It doesn't rinse off the dishes or dish cloth. Why why why did you mess with a GOOD thing? Very disappointing! I wish I could give zero stars. 1 star being "product is poor" doesn't ever come close to how bad this smell is.

New fragrance is TOO fragrant

This has been our preferred dish soap for years, but the new scent formulation is absolutely overpowering. The soap works very well on dishes, but we simply can't live with the smell. Hopefully all the feedback I'm seeing here will spur Dawn to rethink their "improvements;" otherwise, our household will be looking for a new product.
