Example of how to lose customers!
I'd bough a large refill bottle some time ago. Started using it and wondered for days where the horrible perfume smell was coming from. Never even considered it was the dishsoap I'd used for decades. Why would anyone want their dishes to smell like a boudoir? I've begin searching for a replacment!

Hate the new chemical scent
I’ve been a long time user of this product, but the new smell is so unpleasant that I will no longer be purchasing it. I love the cleaning power but I don’t want to be washing my dishes with chemicals.

Reliable
This is one of those products you can guarantee will always be there when you need it to work. It has removed residue from clothing that laundry soap could never, consistently prevented my clothing from being thrown out. It’s just a basic dispensing bottle. Nothing by fancy.

The grease fighting power is strong with this one
Amazing product for washing literally anything. The grease fighting powers are great and the product really works as advertised. The product rinses off with ease and has a great smell!

Clean dishes well
When I moved into my apartment, I made the mistake of not checking for a dishwasher. So, now being a peasant I have to hand wash all my dishes. It is a chore that I do not enjoy. At least, using a good quality detergent has made it easier. It is, to put it mildly, a chore I absolutely despise, a tedious and time-consuming ritual that eats into my evenings.

"Cuts through grease on contact"
My daily MVP. 🧼✨ Lowkey, I hate spending forever doing dishes, and this soap is a total game changer. It literally cuts through grease in seconds and leaves everything spotless. A must-have for the kitchen! 🐣💙

DAWN cleans the competition 🫧🫧
Dawn is the best dishwashing liquid. All you need is a small amount and it suds up instantly. On several occasions I've tried to be cheap and get a lesser known brand but economically Dawn cleans the competition.
I use Dawn for everything, not only to wash dishes. It gets stains from clothes, bathroom sink and tub. Also a small amount can be used to clarify oily hair....

This a definite reoccurring buy
I use this for more than just dishes ! And did you know you can wash the pets too? I use it in my puppy haha! It’s great for degreasing and gets dishes squeaky clean! It’s foams up really good too and will penetrate through the fluids…

Cleans well, smells terrible, scent sticks to dish
Still cleans well, still a versitile cleaner, but the new, so-called fresh scent is strong and awful — not what I would call “fresh”. The scent smells like cheap perfume and is overpowering enough to induce asthma attacks in my wife. I could maybe even work around that, I can not abide the scent sticking to dishes generally and glasses, cups and mugs in particular. ...

Still the best
Works great for everyday pots and pans. I've noticed that the perfume added to Dawn has recently gotten stronger, but much better than the green stuff!!

Dawn Ultra Rash
I have been using Dawn Ultra for years and I always wear gloves when washing dishes. In the past couple of months, a angry red rash has been appearing on my forearms where the water occasionally splashes upwards and drips down inside the gloves. The scent of the dish soap has changed. Could this be the issue? Disappointing that I need to find a new dish soap.

Old reliable
Old reliable is what I called this dish soap, but it does more than clean dishes. I use this to clean my makeup brushes and also our screens for our windows and birdcage or a somewhat call. It lanai screen. Old reliable is all I can say works wonders.

#1 dishsoap
Dawn is always my go to for greasy dishes! Nothing cleans as well as Dawn does! It really has lots of uses not just for dishes I've used it for stains as well so it's definitely a staple in my kitchen. They have several scents as well which is nice but I prefer the original scent. Do yourself a favor and get Dawn!

Rotten Smell
I have used Dawn dish soap for decades. It works wonderfully. But the new scent is TERRIBLE. It is overpowering and smells like rotten cucumbers. PLESASE go back to the original scent or at least give us the option to purchase it again.

Not the same great scent anymore.
I've been using orange Dawn dish soap for years and loved it. The scent was delightful and would leave the kitchen smelling fresh. Lately I noticed the acwnt wasn't the same at all. More chemical and hardly any citrus. Please bring back the old formula!
