Horrible smell

I’ve always used Dawn products and they have been great. I love the Dawn Platinum Original Scent, but the new Rain Scent is horrible. It smells very bad and dries out my hands. I feel like it’s very thick compared to the original. I think it might be time to start looking for a new dish soap.

We are sorry to hear you are not enjoying the Rain Scent. We did have a formula upgrade in February 2022 but would not expect this to be a result of it. Our products go through many quality checks to ensure they get to you with the best results, so we are sorry this wasn't the case with your recent purchase. So we can learn more about your experience, please call us at (800) 725-3296 when you have a moment.

save time and money

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ZI found this product to be a real value. It takes less time to soak and wash dishes because of the estra power it has to loosen dried on food. I use less detergent and get cleaner dishes with less effort. Oh, and it smells great too. Win .... win.... win.

Why did the scent change?!?!

I’ve been using Dawn Platinum for years and have always loved it. Recently my son picked up a new refill bottle and the scent is completely different. It’s so strong I get a migraine when someone opens the bottle. I’m sensitive to scents and the original version was perfect but this new version is absolutely awful. You should really offer Platinum in a scent free version or go back to the original scent.

Clean Scent??? No thank you!

We bought a large bottle of our favorite dish soap, it’s a staple in our household and is used for multiple needs. I opened up the new bottle and did some dishes, and thought that’s an odd scent… didn’t think much of it thinking it was something else that wafted up like the dead roses I’d thrown out earlier. Next day after the trash was taken out… I was washing up the kitchen and the scent hit me again and this time it made me nauseous…. I told my husband that I hate the smell of the soap and asked if they changed it. I looked at the bottle and sure enough, new “clean scent” was printed right there. It’s awful, he hates it, I hate it and dishes are certainly a chore now. There is something triggering about it, nausea and headaches. Just awful! Please please please change it back! I never ever write reviews, but this was a must.

We're sorry to hear that a loyal Dawn fan like you had this experience, and we hope that you're feeling better. We can assure you that our products have been thoroughly evaluated to be safe when used as directed. We'd also like to mention that we haven't made any recent changes to the scent of this product. The same great scent in Dawn Platinum Refreshing Rain is now being called Dawn Platinum Fresh Rain, but this is only a name change, not a scent change. We'll be sure to share your comments with our team, and we do recommend discontinuing use of this particular product if you've found this to be your experience. We do have other scents available here at Dawn, and we suggest giving our Dawn Free & Clear a try, as this features our lightest scent. So that we can learn more about your experience and gather some additional details for our Safety Team, please give us a call at (800) 725-3296 when you have a chance.

Overpowering Perfume - Horrible, really.

The "Fresh Scent" is so overwhelming that I may never buy this product again. Why take something that works so well (the best dishwashing liquid ever) and completely ruin it by making it smell like a 15 year old boy who just bathed in Axe Body Spray?

So Disappointed with the Scent

I love Dawn and have been a dedicated user many years, I'm 61. I was so disappointed when I bought this new bottle of platinum. This scent is unbearable to me. I have fragrance allergies and this is definitely triggering me. So sad to have this happen. I use green for non grease and platinum for greasy dishes/pans. I actually had to give this to my husband for the outside Dawn we keep for the crab pot and anything else that needs cleaning. He uses Dawn in his sprayer for bug control - works great or killing insects. Please work on this scent.

The new scent is horrible

I love Dawn and have used it for years. The new scent on Dawn Platinum is chemical and harsh. Ruins what used to be an enjoyable chore. The clean smell when you are doing dishes was one of the reasons I used Dawn. But no longer, I will be throwing away my bottle or giving it away. Please go back to the original scent.

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.

Hate the new clean scent

Do NOT like the new clean scent. Although it does dissipate quickly, it is very perfumed. Not at all what I want to clean my dishes with. Please keep the original scent, I love my dawn it works great, been using it for over 30 years. But the new scent is NOT clean smelling. Don't fix it if it's not broken

The rain scent is nauseating.

I've used this product for years and always loved it. However this last bottle is literally nauseating. I came on your website to see if you had changed the formula or perhaps I purchased the wrong bottle, but I had not. After reading all these other reviews about the scent being horrible I see that it's not just me. I don't want to change detergents but I absolutely cannot handle this smell. I'm so disappointed but I'll be discarding this large platinum 4X Dawn and looking for something else.
