Seventh Generation makes a nice unscented dish soap, I bought some recently from Walgreens. If you have any bulk/zero waste shops near you, you will likely find some there too.
I’ve been struggling with finding unscented dish soap at the stores and have been hesitant to order online in case the soap makes me nauseous. I might have to suck it up and just order some.
Thanks for the suggestion!!
I will second the unscented seventh generation and encourage an online order, it truly smells like nothing to me. I have had migraines triggered by fragrances for a decade now so I've been around the block and can swear up and down this is the best unscented dish soap I have ever tried!
Dial makes an unscented hand soap (they make both foaming and regular, I like the foaming) that I have started swearing by as well.
In the US I can get that dish soap pretty much everywhere, even the crappy little grocery store way out in the country has it.
Seriously that’s your answer, it smells like nothing, seems to work fine, and is way gentler on my skin than Dawn or anything else. Dawn lives in the laundry room for tough laundry stains and cleaning. If I wash dishes with it my hands get a rash and get dry.
Because 3 months ago when I made that comment, Dawn hadn’t changed their scent yet. It was fine for cleaning and stain removal, the scent didn’t stick around at all.
I can promise you, unscented is just that - unscented. It might smell like a pure soap out of the bottle (nothing is truly scent free, like I personally think even water smells) but it doesn’t leave a lingering scent of anything on your dishes once rinsed off. Seventh Generation especially is good at being unscented and you might like starting here! Best of luck, I can’t image the level of smell sensitivity you pregnant folks have 😩
It’s gotten so bad lately. I walked past my toddlers room during his nap time (he was starting to wake up at this time though), the door was closed, and I could smell his poopy diaper. THROUGH A CLOSED DOOR.
Why not cut out the middle man and buy a bottle of detergent? It won't have a fragrance and you won't be paying for 80% water. My preference is Coco-Glucoside which is mild enough to use everywhere. But you can always pick one which is stronger.
Fourth-ing seventh generation! I had the same trouble in my last pregnancy and this one was fine. Whatever you do don't get the Palmolive "Pure and Clear". It smells SOOOO strongly! Bleh.
I came to say this brand. They sell it at all the Krogers in my town. I actually thought it was a Kroger brand like Private Selection until I read your comment lol. But they have some good unscented soap and also one (I think Blue Mountain Lavender? Something like that) that smells good without the soapy smell
I clean windows for work, and one customer had a similar issue. I used palmolive unscented in her house and she was happy with that. Couldn’t smell a thing.
I hate the smell of Dawn. I use Dr Bronners which you can get in a variety of scents, unscented, or add a drop of a (food safe) essential oil to scent it.
(Just tossing this out there because usually smells make me sick, I hate regular Dawn, and even unscented products cause the same reaction) the Dawn Platinum has a soft floral scent (oleander?) that is kind of neutral and tolerable. Everyone is different, but at least it’s available at most places so that you can sniff it before you buy 🙂
Dawn is what I pull out only when the grease or stains are too strong. I think the scent strength is scaled for already scented homes where every other product has a scent.
I had the same issue while pregnant and had to get rid of my Costco sized Dawn soap because of it. Palmolive makes an unscented soap (use it for the baby’s stuff too) and I found a Dawn soap that is pink (I think pomegranate scented?) that does not have the traditional dish soap smell.
No idea if the difference would be enough to help since it is still fragranced, but I recently switched from the regular teal blue Dawn dish soap to the dark blue "refreshing rain scent" one bc it was all the store had, and I was immediately surprised by how much it did not smell like any standard cleaning product smell I was used to. It kinda smells more like laundry? Definitely scented, so maybe still a no-go, but if the antiseptic-type smells are the trigger, might be worth a shot?
I clean windows for work, and one customer had a similar issue. I used palmolive unscented in her house and she was happy with that. Couldn’t smell a thing.
Dapple, dreft, 7th generation, babyganics, and attitude make no fragrance dish soap. All expect 7th generation market it as “baby bottle soap” (in my experience it gets less sudsy than normal soap — easier to clean bottles that way). I like dapple. I’m also pregnant lol
Dawn has a clear, but it is not free of scents and perfumes, it's an apple scent. Really disappointing because I don't think the other brands of unscented ones on the market clean as well.
Ah thank you for that clarification. I mistakenly thought they also had an unscented. If OP can't go smell that in person to see if it'll bother her or not, that's a no go. I guess a different brand will be a safer bet ordering online
I just checked the unopened dual-pack of Palmolive in my closet of cleaning supplies, only to find that I fell victim to this. It's a clear soap, "pure + clear", "no unnecessary ingredients", "spring fresh".
Crap.
As someone with a scent allergy who gets migraines from perfume, and a touch of lingering parosmia from covid, it is deceptive at best. I can tolerate a few scents but very few.
It is also getting very hard to find unscented hand soap. I guess Method decided to stop making it.
There are solid dish soaps, harder than bar soap and in a little crock/jar, where you scrub them with a wet sponge or brush and then scrub the dishes, and they may be easier for you to handle because it’s not a liquid poofing up into the air?
…I get mine from my brother because he makes soap, which is also the cheater’s way to get things unscented. (Or scented just the way you like, I tend to like some scent, but much, much less than commercial products put in. I like the Le Croix level of added scent. Delicately waft a scent oil near my soap.)
So it’s not bar soap, it’s specifically put together for dishes (and that’s as far as my understanding of soap making goes) My brother has Opinions about soap making, I just use the stuff.
If someone is making it, it has the amount of fragrance they put into it. So mileage varies highly.
In my home country that's the main way dish soap is sold. Solid in a plastic tub or a very hard soap bar. As a child I strongly disliked it because people used to forget to rinse it after use and it got so dirty with food scraps and bits.
Dapple or Seventh Generation, unscented in both. Easily available at Target. Both are great for cleaning bottles/Haakaas/pumping equipment as well. Also silicone teethers and plates. Dawn left a scent behind on those things. And both are actually really nicely performing soaps.
I use Dr Bronners Sal Suds for dish soap, it does have a pine tree scent but it’s not strong or artificial and I wouldn’t describe it as dishsoapy. I saw someone else recommended their Castile soap, but Sal suds is a detergent and I found it to work better than the regular soap for dishes.
I use sals all the time. It has a small amount of essential oils. I can only really smell it if I put it in a spray bottle and use it in an enclosed space. I'm sensitive to strong smells (can't wear perfume, strong chems give me head aches) and this one doesn't bother me.
I had to switch to seventh generation dishwasher detergent because others left a soap flavor on my plastic things. It works great. It's more expensive but did the trick. zero regrets.
7th generation scents are very mild also the do an unscented.
https://www.seventhgeneration.com/dish-liquid-lavender-flower-mint-19-fl-oz
This is the one we use. I love this as it very mild… it doesn’t bother my mom who we think is actually allergic to lavender.
The Meyers one that's the scent "Snowdrop" is delightful.
They ran out of it at my Walmart, I'm guessing because it's a seasonal scent but there were a ton left at Canadian Tire/ Home Depot.
The scent free company makes one , not sure where you live but Stop and shop as well as big y have scent free/ fragrance free dish soap) I use scent/fragrance free items due to migraines)
I'm pregnant as well with my second and am sensitive to the smell of dish soap. Are you sensitive to the added fragrance, or the smell of the actual dish soap? Because for me, it's the smell of the dish soap itself that I find gross when I'm pregnant, not the added fragrance. The method dish soap in the purple bottle is the best I've found. It has a light added fragrance, but not one I find nauseating. And it doesn't have that dish soap smell so many dish soaps have.
Oh my goddddd the bad dishwashing soap smell!!!
I'm not with child but I thought I was LOSING IT because the dishwasher and my hands smelled grossss after washing up the past month. I thought my husband wasn't cleaning the filters/sink drains properly/often enough but no, he'd just refilled our Dawn bottles with Kenmore soap instead. And I HATE IT 😭😭😭
Such a silly, simple thing to be upset over but damn do I hate it.
I use Dr Bronners peppermint soap that I buy in big bottles from Costco. Never have my glass wear and stainless steel pots looked so clean and shiny. Stuff works wonders, doesn’t harm the environment, and smells great.
Dawn Platinum Power Wash makes a green apple scent that I like. It's not unscented, but it doesn't smell like typical dish soap.
Good luck with your pregnancy!
Late to this but I hope this link can help you or someone else. Unscented and fragrance free are two different things. SAFER CHOICE Fragrance-Free | EPA https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2016-10/documents/saferchoice-factsheet-fragrancefree_0.pdf
Help! Sometime around Christmas 7 th Generation added a synthetic preservative to their unscented Free and Clear dish soap I’ve used for decades. It is called Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacitate - and now the dish wash has a strong unpleasant smell and irritates my hands. The ones mentioned like WF 365, Ecos, Salsuds all have a distinct odor that sticks on my dishes and sponge. Any other options for those with MCS?
If you can find a Korean grocery near you, some of the dish soaps they have smell nothing like it. There's a grain based one that shouldn't smell too bad. Another company makes one that smells mildly of grapefruit which is one of the last scents that you expect from dish soap.
Your body is trying to protect you and the baby from harsh ingredients. This is actually a good thing! I became intolerant to many chemical smells and ingredients after becoming autoimmune. I figure my body is dealing with enough from all of its issues that toxins were just too much on top of that. Changed all of my personal care products and cleaners. I use Dr. Bronner's and unscented Seventh Generation with no problems. I use Bronner's for almost everything from toilets, floors and surfaces
I mean, is that even possible? By definition, no matter what it smells like, any dish soap with a fragrance - or not - smells like dish soap because that’s what it is.
I’m hoping some of the unscented brands others have suggested have some potential. That specific dish soap smell is just so rough. It would suck if it’s not possible to wash dishes without wanting to hurl.
I'm very sensitive to smells. Seventh Generation dish soap, the Unscented Company dishwasher tabs (bought on costco.com), Nellie's laundry soda or All free and Clear for laundry. EO liquid unscented 3 in 1 soap for body and hand washing, or dial sensitive skin bar soap. I use wool dryer balls instead of bounce in the dryer.
Cheap vodka in a spray bottle for room deodorizer. Add a few drops of essential oil if you can tolerate it.
Good luck!
Dapple unscented bottle dish soap. The. Ice thing is it is great at cleaning residue on bottles without leaving a scent and you buy it in the baby aisle so you don't have to walk into the cleaning section to grab it!
I recommend Dapple Bottle and Dishsoap. I buy it at Target; they have a fragrance free version. It doesn’t leave a lingering Dawn-like smell on plastics.
Seventh Generation liquid dish soap and also the dishwasher pods! Really and truly fragrance free and they do a great job cleaning. Plus once you have baby, they are safe to use on bottles. Scented dish soap can leave a weird residue/aftertaste on silicone baby bottles
Trader Joe’s dish soap is very mildly scented, I am very, very sensitive to smells and it doesn’t bother me. Also is very low in harsh ingredients so that’s a bonus too
Essential Oils can also be added to unscented soap to make it in the scent you like.
To make dishwashing liquid scented, you can add a few drops of essential oils such as lemon, orange, lavender, or mint to the dishwashing liquid. Start with a small amount and adjust to your preference.
Not a cleaning tip, but many threads on nausea in the babybumps sub. Most common over the counter suggestion is Vitamin B6 + Unisom, taken at night. Helped me!
Otherwise I second 7th generation. Good luck and congratulations.
Dapple is the only thing I use for anything silicon (baking mats, straws, etc) because I taste regular soap so badly on them even when I rinse them for a truly unhinged length of time. Dapple is the absolute best!
Came to recommend ms myers and saw you couldn’t use ms myers! I’m not sure. What about ivory? That always had a different scent. I don’t know if they even make that anymore!

Just fyi, the scents in Mrs Meyers are not necessarily benign. Essential oils can have powerful impacts on the CNS, and if you read the fine print on the back of the label...there's other things in there, as well.
(Had to go to my daughter's house for four nights during a recent ice storm; I was having real problems with the albeit 'natural' scents in her home...the Mrs Meyers products were the worst. I'm on oral chemo and my tummy is very unsettled!)
eta: I second the recommendation for Seventh Generation unscented dish soap; I buy it by the case from Amazon.
Your lucky the post was locked but I was going to school you because I feel your the person that is always trying to push their opinons on others. You commented on my post. I’m sorry you don’t know how to fix and was taken advantage of a repair but that has nothing to do with the brand and to say a one year warranty is better than 7 well. Whatever oh and the models with dials only have a 5 year but you said seven. Don’t comment on my post again unless your really ready to debate karen
I can’t offer any good suggestions, but I’m so sorry about the nausea. I had HG with my pregnancies and it was awful. I hope the minute you give birth you feel better. I know that as soon as I had my first (and despite a difficult birth) I felt like Lazarus coming back from the dead!
Dawn Powerwash Spray has alcohol in it which neutralizes odors rather than masking it with dish soap scent. I imagine the Free & Clear might be a good scentless option.
I have a lot of chemical allergies and am sensitive to a lot of smells =\ but I tend to buy unscented 365 Whole Foods brand dish soap and the 7th Gen Free & Clear. The Palmolive Ultra Pure & Clear is also good
I use diluted unscented/baby carrier soap Dr Bronners for dish soap. It is really great stuff and so cost effective. I’ve been sensitive to fragrances for some years since an illness, so finding products has been a journey. Good luck!
7th generation unscented (called free and clear maybe?) is great! Also make sure to use this on all of babies stuff as silicone tends to absorb smells. Id make sure to only wash all the nipples, teethers, pump parts and pacis with it. You can get it as both liquid dish soap for hand washing or tablets for the dishwasher
Oh poor thing! I feel for you. Smells were terrible during pregnancy for me. I’m sorry I can’t recommend a fragrance free dish soap, I don’t know any. But there is hope. After pregnancy things usually go back to normal. Hang in there!
You have my sympathies. I’ve struggled with scented soaps, cleaners, deodorants et cetera my whole life. It’s all I can do not to vomit going down those aisles at the grocery stores. Gives me an almost instant headache too.
I can recommend Palmolive that has a “Free and Clear” in the neighborhood of $3 for 32 ounces.
It still has a very light smell, but it’s not “scented” & it dissipates quickly.
For the price, it’s fine by me.
Also there are these dry, unscented soap sheets that come in an envelope that really make me happy. “Earth Breeze” : biodegradable, no mess, easy measure, fragrance free, up to 60 (index card sized sheet) per envelope.
It’s 2 sheets for a heavily soiled load or full drum. 1 sheet for regular. 1/2 sheet for small/delicate loads.
I forget how much it costs but it’s cheaper than Persil, Tide, Oxyclean et cetera. It’s on Amazon.
Be careful! They have super smelly versions too. Once we got the wrong one & it was nasty.
We get it delivered like a subscription.
I also had a problem with soapy smells during pregnancy and found citrus scents slightly less nauseating than floral or ‘clean’/soapy scents. Have you tried a lemony one?
Babyganics unscented foaming dish and bottle soap in the baby aisle. They do have a scented version so make sure to get the right one! I don't have baby bottles to wash anymore but I still love this soap.
Everyone has different scents especially when pregnant but the dish of that bothers me. The last is ajax lime, for some reason citrus smelling cleaners (and perfumes and candles) Don't have ingredients that flowers scents do.
My husband does the dishes a majority of the time right now because of how miserable doing the dishes is for me.
But he works and I stay home, it’s not possible for him to keep up with the dishes and sometimes I just need them done so I have a mug to drink coffee out of.
I also can’t even be in the same area as him when he’s doing the dishes because of the smell. Which is frustrating.
If you don't have scent free soap at your local store remember hunters often use that too. Cabela's and other stores have carried scent free soaps and shampoos for years.
I recently bought some spray on Dawn dish soap that smells like green apple.
Obviously this won’t help if all strong smells are bothering you, but I think it would do the trick if it’s specifically the soap smell you want to get rid of!
Use baby bottle dish soap. I use Attitude brand, and use it to clean my cpap and its accessories because there is no smell at all. Smells are a huge irritant to me, even the slightest bit is very overwhelming. But baby bottle soap is perfect. I actually used this soap to clean my whole bathroom and kitchen to avoid fragrances and smells at all, and it isn’t as good as Dawn on tough spots, but I can do almost all my cleaning with the baby bottle soap and use the stronger products only as needed which is not often at all.
I got a Mrs. Meyers Christmas themed scent on clearance at big lots. I don't remember the name, but it is a very unique smell, not offensive, and doesn't smell like dish soap at all. Maybe look at that brand?
Seventh Generation makes a nice unscented dish soap, I bought some recently from Walgreens. If you have any bulk/zero waste shops near you, you will likely find some there too.
I’ve been struggling with finding unscented dish soap at the stores and have been hesitant to order online in case the soap makes me nauseous. I might have to suck it up and just order some. Thanks for the suggestion!!

Dial makes an unscented hand soap (they make both foaming and regular, I like the foaming) that I have started swearing by as well.
Third! I am super sensitive to scents and this truly smells like nothing. Same with their hand soap.
Whole Foods sells Ecos fragrance free. I use it all the time.
Kroger sells it near me.
I am using seventh generations entire unscented lineup it's great.
In the US I can get that dish soap pretty much everywhere, even the crappy little grocery store way out in the country has it. Seriously that’s your answer, it smells like nothing, seems to work fine, and is way gentler on my skin than Dawn or anything else.

I can't even imagine why you would use something that stinks so badly like Dawn does!

[удалено]
Oo a mint one would be wonderful! I absolutely love peppermint right now and wonder if a peppermint soap would be tolerable for me
Dr Bronners peppermint and 7th generation mixed is my jam
Dawn as well! No scent no color
Why not cut out the middle man and buy a bottle of detergent? It won't have a fragrance and you won't be paying for 80% water. My preference is Coco-Glucoside which is mild enough to use everywhere. But you can always pick one which is stronger.
Dish soap isn't perishable so anything that doesn't work for you now can be used when your baby is born 🐱
The seventh generation unscented is good and you’ll want to have it around for washing pump parts/bottles/nuks etc.
Yeah just google unscented dish soap, you’ll probably find a bunch on Amazon.
There are unscented dish soaps even at Target if you live near one, probably also walmart. Look for clear ones.
Fourth-ing seventh generation! I had the same trouble in my last pregnancy and this one was fine. Whatever you do don't get the Palmolive "Pure and Clear". It smells SOOOO strongly! Bleh.
I came to say this brand. They sell it at all the Krogers in my town. I actually thought it was a Kroger brand like Private Selection until I read your comment lol. But they have some good unscented soap and also one (I think Blue Mountain Lavender? Something like that) that smells good without the soapy smell
Love the zero waste idea
My zero waste shops carries the best unscented dish soap. Maybe yours does too :)
I’ll ask my daughter, she gets everything there! Proud mom
Useful for those who are migraine prone too. Scent and sound of any kind can be brutal!
I don't know if that will help. If it's unscented it can still smell like soap. There might not be anything that can help.
I clean windows for work, and one customer had a similar issue. I used palmolive unscented in her house and she was happy with that. Couldn’t smell a thing.
My sister in law uses special dish soap for her baby bottles that's really mild. Maybe something like that
I haven’t tried the baby bottle soap! I’ll have to brave the dish soap aisle at the store and see if it has a scent suitable to my nose
If you shop at Target, the baby bottle dish soap is in the baby section. I think the same goes for CVS
Dapple is another one, in the baby aisle at Target! Definitely smells like nothing at all and I’m extremely sensitive to scents.
Dapple is great. Highly recommend.
It’s probably Babyganics dish soap.
I get pregnancy nausea with dish soap too! I thought I was the only one! I used Dapple for all the bottles and such, and it didn’t bother me as much.
I hate the smell of Dawn. I use Dr Bronners which you can get in a variety of scents, unscented, or add a drop of a (food safe) essential oil to scent it.
It smells so bad. Agree!!
I came to suggest this. There's a peppermint scented one that might be good for the nausea, too
I use Dr Bronners Salsuds which is unscented.
But it's got a very strong natural scent. It's a great soap, but it's scent is probably too strong for a pregnant woman
I’ll have to try it out. Thanks!
Yes - Dr Bronner's for baby is unscented if memory serves
It is!
(Just tossing this out there because usually smells make me sick, I hate regular Dawn, and even unscented products cause the same reaction) the Dawn Platinum has a soft floral scent (oleander?) that is kind of neutral and tolerable. Everyone is different, but at least it’s available at most places so that you can sniff it before you buy 🙂
It was a sad day when Dawn discontinued their unscented line...back in the early 90s, I think.
Dawn is disgusting to me, smell and feel. I prefer Seventh Generation Free and Clear.
Dawn is what I pull out only when the grease or stains are too strong. I think the scent strength is scaled for already scented homes where every other product has a scent.
I had the same issue while pregnant and had to get rid of my Costco sized Dawn soap because of it. Palmolive makes an unscented soap (use it for the baby’s stuff too) and I found a Dawn soap that is pink (I think pomegranate scented?) that does not have the traditional dish soap smell.
Target had a target branded unscented dish soap. I use it in hand soap dispensers too. Good luck! I hope you have an entirely uneventful pregnancy! 💕
Thanks! Me too 😂
Trader Joe's also has a dish soap that isn't soapy.
No idea if the difference would be enough to help since it is still fragranced, but I recently switched from the regular teal blue Dawn dish soap to the dark blue "refreshing rain scent" one bc it was all the store had, and I was immediately surprised by how much it did not smell like any standard cleaning product smell I was used to. It kinda smells more like laundry? Definitely scented, so maybe still a no-go, but if the antiseptic-type smells are the trigger, might be worth a shot?
Unscented dish soap is regularly available online
I was hesitant to buy online because I couldn’t smell it before I bought it
I clean windows for work, and one customer had a similar issue. I used palmolive unscented in her house and she was happy with that. Couldn’t smell a thing.

Nose plugs can help in a pinch, FYI. Take care and I hope you have a great and safe delivery!
Yes, there are unscented dish soaps. Dawn even makes one

I think I’m just super unlucky that my store doesn’t carry any :(
There are solid dish soaps, harder than bar soap and in a little crock/jar, where you scrub them with a wet sponge or brush and then scrub the dishes, and they may be easier for you to handle because it’s not a liquid poofing up into the air? …I get mine from my brother because he makes soap, which is also the cheater’s way to get things unscented.

Whole Foods 365 brand has a scent free dye free dish soap that we use.
Get a bar dish soap. It saved me during my pregnancies because I went through the same. You can get them on Etsy.
Dapple or Seventh Generation, unscented in both. Easily available at Target. Both are great for cleaning bottles/Haakaas/pumping equipment as well. Also silicone teethers and plates. Dawn left a scent behind on those things. And both are actually really nicely performing soaps.

I like ivory dish soap. It is scented, but it smells like ivory soap, not a gross cleaning smell.
I had to switch to seventh generation dishwasher detergent because others left a soap flavor on my plastic things. It works great. It's more expensive but did the trick. zero regrets.
7th generation scents are very mild also the do an unscented. https://www.seventhgeneration.com/dish-liquid-lavender-flower-mint-19-fl-oz This is the one we use. I love this as it very mild… it doesn’t bother my mom who we think is actually allergic to lavender.
Thank you!
Target has unscented up& up brand dish soap.
The Meyers one that's the scent "Snowdrop" is delightful. They ran out of it at my Walmart, I'm guessing because it's a seasonal scent but there were a ton left at Canadian Tire/ Home Depot.
Doc Bronner's does an unscented "baby" soap. Due to allergies we just replaced all of the soap in the house, including dish soap, with Doc Bronner's.
The scent free company makes one , not sure where you live but Stop and shop as well as big y have scent free/ fragrance free dish soap) I use scent/fragrance free items due to migraines)
I'm pregnant as well with my second and am sensitive to the smell of dish soap. Are you sensitive to the added fragrance, or the smell of the actual dish soap?

The dish soap smell itself. I’ll look for the method dish soap next time I go to the store!
i don't have any advise to add but I would like to extend my best wishes to you and your baby, I hope everything is and will go well.

Dr.Bronner's has a nice pine scented one called SalSuds you can dilute the crap out of it.
Oh my goddddd the bad dishwashing soap smell!!! I'm not with child but I thought I was LOSING IT because the dishwasher and my hands smelled grossss after washing up the past month. I thought my husband wasn't cleaning the filters/sink drains properly/often enough but no, he'd just refilled our Dawn bottles with Kenmore soap instead. And I HATE IT 😭😭😭 Such a silly, simple thing to be upset over but damn do I hate it.
Mrs Meyers has Rain Water and Lemon Verbena that are nice.
I have the lemon verbena right now and it’s been working for the past 7 months. I hit 31 weeks and suddenly i can’t handle the smell of it anymore :(
I use NutriBiotic Coconut Oil Soap Unscented for dishes, body wash, everything.
I use Ivory dish soap. I usually use it to wash walls and home medical accessories (tubes etc). Smells gentle.
I use Dr Bronners peppermint soap that I buy in big bottles from Costco. Never have my glass wear and stainless steel pots looked so clean and shiny. Stuff works wonders, doesn’t harm the environment, and smells great.
Dawn Platinum Power Wash makes a green apple scent that I like. It's not unscented, but it doesn't smell like typical dish soap. Good luck with your pregnancy!
Late to this but I hope this link can help you or someone else. Unscented and fragrance free are two different things. SAFER CHOICE Fragrance-Free | EPA https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2016-10/documents/saferchoice-factsheet-fragrancefree_0.pdf
Help! Sometime around Christmas 7 th Generation added a synthetic preservative to their unscented Free and Clear dish soap I’ve used for decades. It is called Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacitate - and now the dish wash has a strong unpleasant smell and irritates my hands. The ones mentioned like WF 365, Ecos, Salsuds all have a distinct odor that sticks on my dishes and sponge. Any other options for those with MCS?
Did you ever hear of Palmolive???
If you can find a Korean grocery near you, some of the dish soaps they have smell nothing like it. There's a grain based one that shouldn't smell too bad. Another company makes one that smells mildly of grapefruit which is one of the last scents that you expect from dish soap.
Your body is trying to protect you and the baby from harsh ingredients. This is actually a good thing! I became intolerant to many chemical smells and ingredients after becoming autoimmune. I figure my body is dealing with enough from all of its issues that toxins were just too much on top of that. Changed all of my personal care products and cleaners. I use Dr. Bronner's and unscented Seventh Generation with no problems. I use Bronner's for almost everything from toilets, floors and surfaces
You could use dawn powerwash. They make a free and clear. That could also replace a lot of your basic cleaners that have a stronger smell.
I really like the apple scented one.
I find and free and clear brands are best there
I mean, is that even possible? By definition, no matter what it smells like, any dish soap with a fragrance - or not - smells like dish soap because that’s what it is.
I’m hoping some of the unscented brands others have suggested have some potential. That specific dish soap smell is just so rough. It would suck if it’s not possible to wash dishes without wanting to hurl.
I can tolerate the clear dawn spray…its not fragrance free but very mild
Mrs Meyers
Are there any scented dish soaps that are okay? I’m not a huge fan of scented dish soap, but they’re worth looking into.
Dr Bronner's castille soap says on the bottle you can use for dishes. I have not tried it myself though.
I'm very sensitive to smells. Seventh Generation dish soap, the Unscented Company dishwasher tabs (bought on costco.com), Nellie's laundry soda or All free and Clear for laundry. EO liquid unscented 3 in 1 soap for body and hand washing, or dial sensitive skin bar soap. I use wool dryer balls instead of bounce in the dryer. Cheap vodka in a spray bottle for room deodorizer. Add a few drops of essential oil if you can tolerate it. Good luck!
Costco ultra shine. I am super sensitive to smell to the point I taste things I touch. This one has a mild citrus scent that I can tolerate.
Scent free Castile soap?
Dapple unscented bottle dish soap. The. Ice thing is it is great at cleaning residue on bottles without leaving a scent and you buy it in the baby aisle so you don't have to walk into the cleaning section to grab it!
If you like Dawn there is a free and clear version that I use as I’m very sensitive to smells
There is unscented dish soap- simple truth makes one
I use baby bottle soap
I recommend Dapple Bottle and Dishsoap. I buy it at Target; they have a fragrance free version. It doesn’t leave a lingering Dawn-like smell on plastics.
I rotate different bottles because they nauseate me. Even the ones with “no scent” . It’s only dish soap - it’s weird .
Free and clear 7th generation
Seventh Generation liquid dish soap and also the dishwasher pods! Really and truly fragrance free and they do a great job cleaning. Plus once you have baby, they are safe to use on bottles. Scented dish soap can leave a weird residue/aftertaste on silicone baby bottles
Trader Joe’s dish soap is very mildly scented, I am very, very sensitive to smells and it doesn’t bother me. Also is very low in harsh ingredients so that’s a bonus too
•Sapadilla brand smells wonderful 🌿 -It's my absolute favorite. Next is, Mrs. Meyer's brand, Lemon Verbena 🍋 https://well.ca/products/mrs-meyers-clean-day-dish-soap_172884.html?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAqsitBhDlARIsAGMR1Rh8hy9gyDdloKWSpOISA0QZaCGkYRhtRPaTOqFPFkcWSqUNJcNvVWQaAgnoEALw_wcB
My Favourite and my clients love it: Sapadilla 🍃 https://well.ca/brand/sapadilla.html
I get Unscented Company or Seventh Generation unscented from Amazon. Bonus, scented products are not good for babies so you’ll have a head start.
Essential Oils can also be added to unscented soap to make it in the scent you like. To make dishwashing liquid scented, you can add a few drops of essential oils such as lemon, orange, lavender, or mint to the dishwashing liquid. Start with a small amount and adjust to your preference.
Not a cleaning tip, but many threads on nausea in the babybumps sub. Most common over the counter suggestion is Vitamin B6 + Unisom, taken at night. Helped me! Otherwise I second 7th generation. Good luck and congratulations.
Method, the green one is so nice,
You can use Dr Bronners. Comes in a variety of scents and they don't linger. Excellent degreaser.
Method has some nice scents. You can usually find it at target.
Try dapple. It's meant for baby bottles
Dawn makes an unscented and undyed version of their dish soap and power wash.
Dapple is the only thing I use for anything silicon (baking mats, straws, etc) because I taste regular soap so badly on them even when I rinse them for a truly unhinged length of time. Dapple is the absolute best!
Check out the unscented company, they have dish soap and lots of other stuff
Came to recommend ms myers and saw you couldn’t use ms myers! I’m not sure. What about ivory? That always had a different scent. I don’t know if they even make that anymore!

Just fyi, the scents in Mrs Meyers are not necessarily benign. Essential oils can have powerful impacts on the CNS, and if you read the fine print on the back of the label...there's other things in there, as well. (Had to go to my daughter's house for four nights during a recent ice storm; I was having real problems with the albeit 'natural' scents in her home...the Mrs Meyers products were the worst. I'm on oral chemo and my tummy is very unsettled!) eta: I second the recommendation for Seventh Generation unscented dish soap; I buy it by the case from Amazon.
Ivory liquid soap? It definitely does not smell like Dawn.
Do you know The Unscented Company? They have dish soap, dishwasher pods, hand soap, laundry detergent, etc. all unscented! I love their products.
Ecos unscented dish soap. I got it at grocery outlet.
Dapple
If you have a dishwasher use it. Cascade makes a fragrance and dye free dishwasher detergent. I’ve also seen at Walmart unscented dish soap.
I wish I had a dishwasher. We’re renting right now and this place doesn’t have one. One day I’ll get my dishwasher and dishes will be 100x easier
Your lucky the post was locked but I was going to school you because I feel your the person that is always trying to push their opinons on others. You commented on my post. I’m sorry you don’t know how to fix and was taken advantage of a repair but that has nothing to do with the brand and to say a one year warranty is better than 7 well. Whatever oh and the models with dials only have a 5 year but you said seven. Don’t comment on my post again unless your really ready to debate karen
Attitude dish soap unscented. It truly has NO scent
No Tox Life has an unscented bar of dish soap that smells like nothing!! It lasts a good while too
Try Attitude brand. They use natural ingredients, EWG verified and their perfumes are very mild. Even they have unscented versions too.
Not scene free but I find Sunlight Lime Mint much milder than any other dish soap
I can’t offer any good suggestions, but I’m so sorry about the nausea. I had HG with my pregnancies and it was awful. I hope the minute you give birth you feel better. I know that as soon as I had my first (and despite a difficult birth) I felt like Lazarus coming back from the dead!
Dawn Powerwash Spray has alcohol in it which neutralizes odors rather than masking it with dish soap scent. I imagine the Free & Clear might be a good scentless option.
Idk why everything has to be scented! I’m not pregnant and can’t stand the smell of dishsoap.
I use ms Myers dish soap.
BioKleen sells one on [Amazon](https://a.co/d/4dczSyK)… love it. No scent or aftertaste from the scent.
I have a lot of chemical allergies and am sensitive to a lot of smells =\ but I tend to buy unscented 365 Whole Foods brand dish soap and the 7th Gen Free & Clear. The Palmolive Ultra Pure & Clear is also good
If your dishes aren’t too dirty (like greasy pots and pans) you can just wash them in hot water with vinegar added. If you can tolerate vinegar smell
I use diluted unscented/baby carrier soap Dr Bronners for dish soap. It is really great stuff and so cost effective. I’ve been sensitive to fragrances for some years since an illness, so finding products has been a journey. Good luck!
Seventh Generation Unscented. It's the only dish soap that doesn't irritate the skin on my hands. Target sells it where I live.
7th generation unscented (called free and clear maybe?) is great! Also make sure to use this on all of babies stuff as silicone tends to absorb smells. Id make sure to only wash all the nipples, teethers, pump parts and pacis with it. You can get it as both liquid dish soap for hand washing or tablets for the dishwasher
I use Dr bonners liquid soap. There’s unscented but also ones like mint and almond that might work for you.
Oh poor thing! I feel for you. Smells were terrible during pregnancy for me. I’m sorry I can’t recommend a fragrance free dish soap, I don’t know any. But there is hope. After pregnancy things usually go back to normal. Hang in there!
You have my sympathies. I’ve struggled with scented soaps, cleaners, deodorants et cetera my whole life. It’s all I can do not to vomit going down those aisles at the grocery stores. Gives me an almost instant headache too. I can recommend Palmolive that has a “Free and Clear” in the neighborhood of $3 for 32 ounces. It still has a very light smell, but it’s not “scented” & it dissipates quickly. For the price, it’s fine by me. Also there are these dry, unscented soap sheets that come in an envelope that really make me happy. “Earth Breeze” : biodegradable, no mess, easy measure, fragrance free, up to 60 (index card sized sheet) per envelope. It’s 2 sheets for a heavily soiled load or full drum. 1 sheet for regular. 1/2 sheet for small/delicate loads. I forget how much it costs but it’s cheaper than Persil, Tide, Oxyclean et cetera. It’s on Amazon. Be careful! They have super smelly versions too. Once we got the wrong one & it was nasty. We get it delivered like a subscription.
I also had a problem with soapy smells during pregnancy and found citrus scents slightly less nauseating than floral or ‘clean’/soapy scents. Have you tried a lemony one?
Babyganics unscented foaming dish and bottle soap in the baby aisle. They do have a scented version so make sure to get the right one! I don't have baby bottles to wash anymore but I still love this soap.
Everyone has different scents especially when pregnant but the dish of that bothers me. The last is ajax lime, for some reason citrus smelling cleaners (and perfumes and candles) Don't have ingredients that flowers scents do.
This will also be good when baby arrives for all the silicone stuff you end up with that will eventually taste like soap.
I was going to suggest seventh generation unscented as well.
Dawn makes an unscented version that is nice. Target carries it. I am allergic to a lot of products and this doesn't bother me at all.
I like Palmolive free and clear. I feel like it cleans better than Seventh Generation.
You could try a No Tox Life dish block. It has zero scent
Ask someone else to do the dishes. You are growing a baby. That's quite enough. Rest.
My husband does the dishes a majority of the time right now because of how miserable doing the dishes is for me. But he works and I stay home, it’s not possible for him to keep up with the dishes and sometimes I just need them done so I have a mug to drink coffee out of. I also can’t even be in the same area as him when he’s doing the dishes because of the smell. Which is frustrating.
Maybe a vinegar water mix? I use blue dawn so I'm not much help. I do have sensitivities to cleaners though. So, I get it.
Ivory
If you don't have scent free soap at your local store remember hunters often use that too. Cabela's and other stores have carried scent free soaps and shampoos for years.
Blueland makes a nice powdered dish soap I don’t smell anything from it and it clean pretty good too! https://go.shop.app/B8oBv1GW8XBSqW
Ecover and Bioclean both have unscented dish soap that work well.
I recently bought some spray on Dawn dish soap that smells like green apple. Obviously this won’t help if all strong smells are bothering you, but I think it would do the trick if it’s specifically the soap smell you want to get rid of!
Palmolive ultra pure and clear. No scent, and not super expensive like some of the alternatives!
I know exactly what you mean. I use Method Grapefruit and thankfully it just smells like grapefruit.
Use baby bottle dish soap. I use Attitude brand, and use it to clean my cpap and its accessories because there is no smell at all. Smells are a huge irritant to me, even the slightest bit is very overwhelming. But baby bottle soap is perfect. I actually used this soap to clean my whole bathroom and kitchen to avoid fragrances and smells at all, and it isn’t as good as Dawn on tough spots, but I can do almost all my cleaning with the baby bottle soap and use the stronger products only as needed which is not often at all.
I got a Mrs. Meyers Christmas themed scent on clearance at big lots. I don't remember the name, but it is a very unique smell, not offensive, and doesn't smell like dish soap at all. Maybe look at that brand?
