Dawn Ultra Liquid Dish Soap, Original Scent, 40 fl oz

Blue dawn is my favorite!! Its the best for dishes...plus wooded floors as well. A drop of blue dawn with hot water to clean hallway floors and steps! It does wonders!! Try it and be amazed. This product I highly recommend and I stock up to last me for awhile....I will always purchase blue dawn in the future.

Like regular dawn cleans great. Very versatile Good to use in homemade spider spray and ants dont like it much either Have used to wash kitty when they are shedding and helps cut the hair loss and their so soft afterwards but needs to be rinsed well

This product is great at getting grease and food off dishes with very little or no scrubbing. It has no aggressive scent or does not overly dry my hands. Walmart has always packed it so it will not be spilled or damaged during shipping, so it arrives at my doorstep, in great condition the day after I order it.

I soak my dishes (no dishwasher) in the sink with hot water. When I come back theres no scrubbing on my dishes and tableware. I wipe with a sponge and rinse under the faucet with hot water. Theres no problem with my hands reacting to Dawn.

I used to purchase this as my go-to dish soap, as it was much more gentle on my skin than most other brands of dish soap, and was still very effective at cleaning dishes, as well as an effective "all purpose cleaner" soap,. However, In this year (2026), I noticed that the formula had been changed. The first thing I noticed IMMEDIATELY was that th scent was different, it no longer had a mild pleasant scent, but a more harsh smell more resembling an industrial solvent. The next thing I oticed was that it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to actually rinse this stuff of your skn. After wshing my hands in it (or dong dishes with it), I ca literally rinse my hands whle rubbing them together thoroughly for over 60-90 seconds (additional seconds AFTER washing the bulk of the sopa off during the hand cleaning process), and I can STILL clearly notice th srong, unpleasant smell of the new formula. Finally, the last thing I noticed was that after using the product for a few weeks, I started to develop what looks like ead skin "blisters" on my fingers, both on the BACK of the fingers (but also on the tougher pads on the front of the fingers. I am livid that yet another company has ruined what WAS a solid product, and now I can't justify buying any Dawn products anymore.

I hadn't used Dawn in several years and recently got a bottle of Dawn Ultra. I was surprised that the fragrance had changed to a sickening perfume odor. I can't stand it and will either give my bottle away or dump it down the drain. And, I will never buy Dawn again.

as others have stated, the former scent was pleasant enough and certainly didn't even approach being offensive . the latest iteration is the poll opposite, it's awful. sufficiently awful, i have stopped purchasing Dawn. that said, i just read that in february 2026, that's right now, the original scent was being brought back....ok. let' see.

I've been using Dawn for at least a decade but will now need to switch to something else due to the offensive and oppressive new smell which never seems to rinse clean off my dishes and has caused my lip to swell up as though burned. The scent lingers long in the air after the washing is done and takes a lot of rinsing to get off your hands. Had to dump out a coffee as the only thing I could taste was Dawn after washing a cup in it. Even if I wasn't worried about health issues and skin irritation the overwhelming stench of this offensive fragrance would be enough for me to switch. Much like P&G's efforts to add fragrance to Ivory soap this was ill advised on the part of the manufacturer. I've seen articles suggesting that when manufacturers change to strong fragrance it's to create a strong association of the product in the memory of the user and it certainly does that. I will now avoid P&G products as the memory of that horrible stink has burned itself into my memory, as well as swelling my lip. Your product testing was clearly bungled. I've seen the official denials about skin irritation and nausea. You might want to look into independent testing in future. I would return the unused portion but I think I'd better hold on to what's left in case further health issues develop. I know there are alternate scents for Dawn, as I just went shopping, but trust is gone.

As others have stated, I'd not give any stars if the option was available. This new fresh scent is far too overpowering, resulting in headaches whenever I've used it. Thank you Dawn for making the switch to a safer dish soap a necessity. Attitude dish soap works beautifully and has no repulsive scent.

Years later and after years of complaints and concerns with fragrances - Dawn still has an overwhelming perfume stench that makes you recoil. Dawn, please if you won't change the scent please issue a fragrance free option.
