Palmolive Liquid Dish Soap

Comments about Palmolive Liquid Dish Soap:

I have used Palmolive Green dishwashing liquid for years. The scent was amazing and wonderful. This new scent smells cheap and harsh. I will no longer buy Palmolive DW liquid until the original scent returns. There are many many loyal customers feeling the same. Why was the scent changed?????

Comments about Palmolive Liquid Dish Soap:

I've been using Palmolive to wash dishes, pots, etc for a long time now. But just bought a new bottle of the ultra originally scent and it just too over powering. The smell is just awful! No matter how much I rinse the dishes, they still stink. I will definitely need to find a replacement dish washing detergent.

This will be going back to the store. Just hope I can find an alternative product without an added 'smell'.

Comments about Palmolive Liquid Dish Soap:

Both my wife and I grew up in households that used Palmolive, so we have nostalgic memories of the deep green color and clean smell. Even though we had both used a certain competitor's product in our more rebellious days, and agree that it works better, we have been using Palmolive throughout our 25 years of married life for the nostalgia. Now that the smell has been replaced with that of gumballs, we will be leaving Palmolive to days gone by.

Comments about Palmolive Liquid Dish Soap:

Very upset that the original scent and liquid is gone. Sad to say I'll be moving on unless it comes back.

Comments about Palmolive Liquid Dish Soap:

I bought this because I always buy Polmolive, but when I smelled this for the first time I knew I would never, ever buy the Ultra Strength again. Polmolive needs to hire someone that has a nose. I usually don't write reviews but this is so bad I had to say something. I never buy any lotion, soap, shampoo or conditioner without opening the bottle and smelling it first. I didn't smell this because all the Polmolive before this smelled great. The worst part is, I had a coupon that required me to buy two, now I have to smell this twice as long.

I have been using original Palmolive for over 30 years & all of a sudden it isn't available anymore, that makes me very sad. I tried the new ultra & I don't like it, it is harsh on my hands & I don't like the smell. So I tried the pure + clear & I don't like that either. Why would you change the original that has been around that long. I kept looking thinking they have to have it but no luck. I just now decided to check online & found out it isn't available. If I had known that I would of bought a bunch so I wouldn't run out for a long time. I am very disappointed, I will find a different dish soap.

I have been using this dish detergent for over 10 years. When I opened the most recent bottle, I noticed that is had a very strong fruity smell. As I was using it, I found that the smell began to irritate my nose and caused me to sneeze frequently. Then I noticed that the labeling indicated New and Max Power. It seems to me that you went ahead and "improved" the product when is did not need improvement. I can't stand it when companies make changes for the sake of calling their product new. As a result, I will no longer buy this product

I have been a Palmolive (original scent) customer for my whole adult life. I am so disappointed with the new scent. It totally takes over my kitchen and overpowers any yummy food smells. If you are eating and someone decides to soak a pan, your meal is ruined with this scent. We quickly tried the other scents but all were too overpowering. I loved using the same dish soap my grandma did but now I'm on a sad search for something new. I even spent $15 on an essential oils dish soap because I was so desperate.

I'm not sure what ingredients you have added to Palmolive Ultra Strength but it makes my hands very dry. I can't use other products because they dry my hands out terribly. I usually use the regular Palmolive and have not had a problem. I purchased the Palmolive Ultra Strength and started using it. After using the new Palmolive my hands became so dry and started to crack. Needless to say, I will be going back to the regular Palmolive. I hope they still sell it!

Comments about Palmolive Liquid Dish Soap:

I love this product, it last very long in my household for one and I like the smell. I had only brought this item in the 9oz size. At first I felt it was to high for the product but after trying out other competition and their prices its worth paying the higher price. My oldest daughter purchases the product as well. I only buy Palmolive.

Comments about Palmolive Liquid Dish Soap:

I have some old acrylic glasses that were getting worse and worse and worse. I couldn't get them clean. I tried everything--even sprays for polishing headlights and so forth. Then out of the blue I tried this Palmolive Ultra Strength with a scouring pad and with a little effort it makes my ten year old acylic glasses like new again. There is no question that it has a funny smell, but I love this stuff. Coupling this with Lemi shine booster and my glasses are coming out clean. Wow.

Comments about Palmolive Liquid Dish Soap:

I use this for daily dish washing. I'm value oriented, so I'm not particularly loyal to any one brand. I'm familiar with Palmolive and have used their products before. I bought this because the large size was on sale at my supermarket. I love the smell and it's not harsh on my hands. In fact, I was curious about the smell because it's so difficult to identify what it is...bubble gum? floral? something sweet? Well, whatever it is, I like it, and I'd buy it again (if the price is right!). I see from the the reviews that many long-time Palmolive customers don't like the smell, maybe that's just because they are used to the original. To each their own, but as I said, I really like the smell, and if anyone can tell me what it is, I'd appreciate it!

Comments about Palmolive Liquid Dish Soap:

Just opened a new bottle tonight and was startled by the smell! It is awful! I cannot continue to use this product. One of the reasons I used the original was because of the smell. I remember my grandmother using it, always associated the smell with her, and I have used it for my own household for the past 25 years. The new smell is way to strong - actually made me nauseous. Plus - the new formal really dried out my hands. So disappointed with this change!

This is a letter I wrote to Palmolive. I urge everyone with similar comments to write a letter, too. It is the only way they will hear us!
Dear Palmolive,
I have been loyally using Palmolive dish soap my entire adult life. I chose your product for several reasons. It was long-lasting, it cleaned dishes superbly, it dealt with greased effectively and most of all, it had a wonderful, mild scent. Recently, I bought a new bottle and I was completely disappointed to find out that the formula had changed and the scent was one I could absolutely not tolerate. The new smell literally makes me feel sick and I had to give the brand new bottle away to a friend, who was just happy to have a free bottle of dish soap. I looked online to see if I was alone in thinking the new formula had a chemical, industrial cleaning fluid smell. Alas, I am not alone. Many reviews I have read agree that the new scent is intolerable. Are you still making the original formula? If not, I strongly urge you to return to the original scent and formula. I truly believe that you will lose many customers who previously would not consider using any other product. Thank you for your consideration.

I have been using the earlier version of this dish soap for years. Now they have changed to formula and the smell is so strong I had guests walk out of my kitchen because the smell was so strong it was making some of them sneeze.
I buy it in extra large bottles at a warehouse club and have never had any complaints, but this new formula is so strong, I couldn't use it.

Comments about Palmolive Liquid Dish Soap:

Will likely switch brands. Didn't realized the formula has changed, and it's inferior in many ways.

Comments about Palmolive Liquid Dish Soap:

The odor of the product is a clear mistake. My asthma suffering spouse can't hardly be in the same room with this detergent. To add insult to injury this detergent is dissolving my hands. They are just raw and hand lotion can't repair them. We had neither of these problems with the old version. Goodbye. By the way, did you have anybody on your test team that is sensitive to strong odors? Anybody with breathing challenges? Anybody that has to wash dishes with bare hands (because there are no gloves out there that fit their hands or have any durability; your hands just get soap on them.)? What kind of hole must their be in your testing to have this product get through?

Comments about Palmolive Liquid Dish Soap:

I have been loyal to this brand for decades and am now thinking of changing because of the new scent of this Ultra, Max Strength.

Comments about Palmolive Liquid Dish Soap:

We've been using the original Palmolive as long as it has been around and - early 70's maybe?? !The Ultra Strength is HORRIBLE!! It has a strong chemical smell - actually more like fumes!! Bring back the original or you've lost this customer for good.!! (-and it sounds like many others, as well!!) DID YOU DO ANY CONSUMER TESTING ON THIS VERSION????
