A problem

Dawn Dish - A problem

Mold is growing inside a dish detergent bottle. I didn't notice it for a while because it's in and out of the lid on the bottom of the squeeze bottle.

When I reached out, they said to clean the dirt from the cap, but it is not dirt. It's mold growing inside the bottle.

They said they'd get back to me but haven't. Yuck, cleaning dishes/food utensils with mold.

Dawn new clean scent is terrible!

Dawn Dish - Dawn new clean scent is terrible!

I bought my usual large bottle of Dawn not realizing the New clean scent label. This is a joke.

I got an instant Headache and could not use this product. I have used Dawn original scent my entire life and never will again.

I actually went and bought Palmolive which is a no-no in my family. Im so disgusted with P&G for this change and will not recommend it to anyone I know!

Changed formula

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Dawn dish soap is crap now. It is watered down, and I have to change my dish water with using more dish soap.

It does not remove the grease as it used to. I am switching to another brand.

I'm not fortunate enough to own a dishwasher!

So frustrated! Waste of money to by a product that advertises it is the ultimate grease fighter!!!

Will no longer purchase Dawn

You changed scent that makes me nauseous and it seems more watered down. Will not purchase again, you are going to take a big loss in your company.

I can't believe your reps let this go through to consumers. I also think this is ridiculous that I have to type this many words to get my point across, but I'm so disappointed.

Dawn's New Scent is horrible. No one wants to wash dishes in a disgusting perfume scent that stays on the dishes!

The formula does not clean as well as the original. I've changed brands.

The scent gives me a horrible headache. Bad idea to add this putrid odor.

Really disappointed with the new Clean Scent and can't find the original at any store. Recently switched to a generic store brand similar to the old original.

Dawn soap fragrance

A 55-year-old with asthma, I have used Dawn soap my entire life. My grandmother and mother used it for generations.

I purchased two bottles of Dawn. I still wash my dishes by hand. I used the product and it had a strong fragrance to it. I started having an asthma attack from the fragrance.

I discovered they changed the scent. The only difference on the bottles is a small sticker that states 'Clean Breeze'. The person at the company who made this decision should be terminated.

They overlooked dollars to pick up a penny. If you have allergies/asthma, do not buy this product.

Dawn New Clean Scent is OFFENSIVE

Dawn Dish - Dawn New Clean Scent is OFFENSIVE

I purchased a new bulk bottle of Dawn dishwashing detergent. I filled my bottle and went along my way.

Later, I washed my hands and noticed an overly-strong floral smell, first on my hand towel and then on my hands. I went to the bathroom to wash the smell off with regular hand soap, but to no avail.

I finally used a bleach solution to remove the smell from my hands. I plan to return the remainder of the bottle and never buy Dawn dish detergent again.

New Dawn formula.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Now Dawn does not clean greasy dishes like the old formula. This customer and many others that always used Dawn hate it too. I will be searching for a new dishwasher liquid.

Dawn's New Scent-its nauseating I can't use it anymore!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have bought Dawn's liquid blue dishwashing detergent and nothing else for over 20 years. It's the best for cleaning all sorts of awful things, especially animals.

But now, they have changed to this awful strong perfume, 'White Diamonds Old Lady' scent, and it's not just unbearable but nauseating! I can't use it anymore. They've lost me as a customer unless they switch back to the original. We really don't need scents put in everything, you know.

Ugh, I hate it. I'm now using Palmolive because it's decent and bearable smelling.

Smelly.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I am addicted to Dawn and I am very loud about it. I tell anyone who will listen. I even clean my pool with Dawn. I go through about a gallon of it per month and the only other cleaner I keep on hand besides laundry detergent is bleach, which I only have to use occasionally. So, to say that I am your biggest fan is an understatement. However, I have accidentally bought your 70-ounce jug with men's clean scent, and I must say, it is disgusting. It smells like cheap old lady's perfume. I just threw out half a jug because I could not use it without sneezing the whole time. I cautioned my friends and they all agree that it is gross. If you are selling a lot of this product, it is because of the size/price. Not because of the smell, I can assure you. I have put out word to everyone in my house, 'DO NOT BUY DAWN THAT SAYS 'NEW, CLEAN SCENT'', OR I WILL NO LONGER BE DOING ANY CLEANING!!! Why would you change something that was already perfect? Please STOP the madness. I am starting to think that the person, likely a man, who made this change, does not do dishes at all. Also, why do I get weird telemarketing for emergency bracelets when I try to call you?

Horrible Perfume

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have been using Dawn since it arrived in the 1970s. It was a great product and as I am chemically sensitive I used it for a variety of cleaning duties.

I always buy extra and was not aware until I opened a new bottle recently that they changed the formulation. It's now much more watery and sticks like cheap perfume. The scent lingered on my dishes and glassware even with vigorous rinsing.

My hands are now cracked. I contacted P&G and their response was that they weren't going to change back to the old formula and they were mailing me a $5 coupon.
