A change in formula?

I’ve been using Dawn Platinum for 7-8 years now. I loved it (5 star quality). However, within the last 2-3 years I’ve noticed a change in the product. There is a 50% decrease in its strength and effectiveness. I used to dilute it as it was highly concentrated. Now, when I dilute it, the liquid barely produces suds. I go through a bottle much more quickly than the previous Dawn Platinum. Did the formula change?

We're sorry to hear you aren't happy with your Dawn. We want to assure you that any upgrades are tested to ensure you always get the very best. We did change the formula in February of this year. It was updated to help dissolve both everyday grease and tough, cooked-on messes quickly and easily, and we are sorry to hear that this is not what you are experiencing. Our products undergo many quality checks to ensure they get to you with the best results, so we don't expect to hear these things. So we can learn more about your experience, please call us at (800) 725-3296.

New Scent is Terrible

I don't remember a time I didn't use blue Dawn. However, the " new clean scent" is awful I am now looking for a new dishsoap. I couldn't even use the bottle I had because the smell is so unpleasant. Also tried the "fresh rain" and was equally disappointed. Not certain why the original was replaced as opposed to just releasing an additional scent option, but I have now wasted money on 2 bottles I can't use. Dawn does clean better in my opinion, but the new smell is too unpleasant too keep using it.

Overpowering and unpleasant fragrance

I have used Dawn platinum for years and it works great but the new change in scent is so overpowering that I will consider a new brand in the future. This is not a ‘clean’ smell, rather it smells like I bathed my dishes in perfume. Tempted to toss the current bottle because I can’t stand the smell.

Covid Headache produced by Dawn's New Scent

OMG: I didn't know Dawn had changed the scent and supposedly put a secret ingredient, until I opened the new bottle I had. The strong ugly scent started to give me a COVID headache and the headache lingers because the strong odor stays in your hands. The old Dawn scent was pretty good and I have been using it for 35 years. I am going to have to find another detergent for now. Will not go back until the original scent is brought back.

Awful new scent

New scent is awful. I have used Dawn for many years but this change in scent has made me plan to look for a different product. It also seems to be less effective as it was before. The scent lingers on hands and dishes, especially plastic items, and is very unpleasant.

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.

Terrible new scent

I’ve been using Dawn for years to clean everything from dishes to litter boxes to bathtubs. I recently bought a new large bottle as I get the refill size and the new scent is terrible! I don’t know what changed from the last time I purchased maybe a few months ago, but it does not smell like regular Dawn and the new scent is off putting and unfortunately will be switching brands.

The best soap ever

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dawn Platinum Refreshing Rain Smells great and is a great value for the price. One small bottle lasts my family an entire month and saves us money every month. I would usually have to buy two big bottles of the store brand each month and this works way better at removing grease and I can use less.

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!!

Terrible smell

I love Dawn soap, but I accidentally grabbed the Fresh Rain scent. Hand down the worst smelling product. It straight up smells like Freshstep kitty litter. Do you guys use the same scent?!?!? I really don't want my dishes smelling like cat litter. Please go back and fix the smell.

Did it get diluted?

Is it just me or is this product not as effective as before? I used to take about a week to refill my lil scrubbie handle soap holder thingy. It holds a few ounces of liquid soap. Now refilling every 2-3 days. This is supposed to be the strongest most-concentrated type of Dawn. But sure, the fragrance is nice.

Please know, Dawn Refreshing Rain hasn't been changed since 2022, so the performance you're getting should be the same is it's been the last couple of years.
