Q: What does this smell like? How is this "free and clear" if fragrance is added?

submitted by Cat Lover - 3 years ago
  • A: To me it smelled like whiskey. I threw out my sponge & laundered my cloth thinking they had gone funky?! Later realized it was the soap. To be fair..one roommate agreed and the other did not.

    submitted bytippy - 2 years ago
  • A: Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray Free & Clear is free of dyes and strong perfumes. It has a light pear scent.

Q: CAn i spray this on my dishes before i put them in the dishwasher to wash?

submitted by lag - 1 year ago
  • A: Like traditional dish soaps, Dawn Dish Spray is not designed for use in the dishwasher. The high level of suds could cause your dishwasher to oversuds and create a mess.

Q: Why is this marketed as "free and clear," which for about 20 years has meant fragrance-free and dye-free? I bought this thinking it was actually "free and clear" and couldn't use it. Inconvenient!

submitted by Allergen sensitive - 2 years ago
  • A: The free & clear description of Dawn Platinum Powerwash Spray, Free & Clear version, refers to the fact that no dyes are added, so you can clearly see through the soap, free of coloration. The fragrance of Dawn Platinum Powerwash Spray, Free & Clear is a light pear.

Q: Does it come with a refill?

submitted by Luna - 2 years ago
  • A: Thank you, Luna, for reaching out to us and asking if your Dawn Platinum Powerwash Spray, Free & Clear Starter Kit, comes with a refill. It should, but the pictures and price on this particular one makes us think it may be misidentified. We encourage you to call Target and ask them if this particular listing includes a refill, or if it's a non-refill Powerwash bottle. Their number is 1 (800) 440-0680.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this dish soap, but I don’t love it. I find that it works really well, and I like the spray function. It definitely has a scent though, it’s kind of a green apple-y scent and while it could be a lot worse I still would prefer no scent.

    This stuff is AMAZING to put it simply. The way it so easily (and quickly) cuts grease is almost mind-blowing. It genuinely works better than anything I have ever tried before and the fact that they made an unscented formula also warms my heart, too! Not only did it work like a charm on my dirty dishes, but also completely removed tar that I thought ruined shoes. I will always have this in my kitchen, without a doubt!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dawn Powerwash Free & Clear Dish Spray stands out for its effective cleaning performance and thoughtful packaging. Its ability to tackle tough grease efficiently, coupled with the convenience of the spray bottle, offers good value for money. I was able to use less so that the soap lasted longer over time. The controlled spray reduces waste, and the availability of refill bottles

    I’ve been using Dawn for years and find the new smell of Dawn Platinum utterly revolting. It’s a chemically perfumy odor that’s hard to rinse away and sticks on plastic. Please go back to using more scents from things we’d actually put on plates—lemons, oranges, mint—even spaghetti would smell better than Dawn Platinum.

    Cleans great, smells terrible

    1 out of 5 stars
    Garninator - 1 month ago
    originally posted on dawn-dish.com
    I have been using Dawn Platinum religiously for nearly a decade. It cleans the best hands down, then one day I buy a new bottle of fresh rain scent and you know what, it smells completely terrible. So bad that it actually makes me feel ill. Then I try other scents hoping to still be able to use it. Lemon, terrible! Jasmine, less so but still terrible! I finally found one scent (Green Papaya) that was ok and I could handle. Now I can't find it anywhere, so I came here just to find you don't list that scent anymore as it must have been discontinued. Why? Who knows but now I'm stuck with the terrible scents and it appears I am not alone. If you can handle the assault on your nasal cavity then I would recommend it, but give it a sniff at the store because for most people I know we've stopped using it because it smells so bad.

    Thank you so much for being a long-time Dawn Platinum user. Your loyalty and satisfaction mean a lot to us, and we're very sorry to hear about your experience with our Fresh Rain, Clean Lemon, and Wild Jasmine, scents. Quality and safety have always been at the forefront of everything we do, and while scent preferences will always vary from person to person, we would not expect you to be feel ill when using our products as directed. This is because all of them go through extensive testing to ensure safety with proper use. Your wellbeing means a lot to us, so please discontinue using the Dishwashing Soaps if you haven't done so already. In regard to our Green Papaya scent being discontinued, we're sorry for your disappointment. As a company, it’s always a hard decision to stop making what may be a beloved product. Please know decisions to start or stop making products are based on consumer demand, so feedback like yours is extremely valuable. Be assured we're sharing your comments with the rest of our team. Your experience isn't something we take lightly, so we'd like to make a report to our Quality and Safety Team and tell you more about our new Dawn EZ-Squeeze Free & Clear Unscented Dish Soap as it has the cleaning power of Dawn you know, love, and trust, yet is unscented. Please give us a call (800) 725-3296.

    Why did you modify the formula of a product that people liked? That was foolish. Now I and many others can’t stand the smell and will find alternatives. Later you’ll likely revert back to the original formula but in the meantime many of us will have moved on. Changing the formula was not a good business decision.

    Off putting scent

    gg23 - 2 months ago
    originally posted on dawn-dish.com
    I've been using Dawn for a very long time and I've never found it lacking to clean all my kitchen ware very well. I bake a lot of pastry and it always works perfectly on my heavy on the butter clean up. I recently bought a refill size Platinum 4x faster without paying attention to the "scent". The "refreshing rain scent" seems more appropriate for clothes washing, definitely not around the kitchen. In fact, it's off putting and competes with my labor-intensive baking. To be fair it still cleans just as well as before. Refill size is too expensive to throw away but too disappointing to ignore my dislike. Just thought you might like to know.
