Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Cascade. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
I hate doing dishes. I hate it even more when I have a dishwasher that is supposed to be washing them but doesn’t get them clean. I mean, if I have a dishwasher, why am I rewashing cups, bottles, and sticky forks and knives? And what’s worse is the dishwasher pod I was using didn’t always dissolve so I was left with a blue goopy mess. Ugh. So, when MomCentral asked me to try out Cascade Platinum Pacs, I was on board to try anything.
Here’s what they told me about this new product:
Cascade Platinum Pacs achieve a top-tier clean so powerful that they even help keep your dishwasher machine sparkling and deliver a variety of dish care benefits:
• Powers away tough, 24 hour stuck-on food
• Eliminates the need to pre-wash dishes
• Helps maintain the look of new machines and helps prevent additional hard-water build-up
• Delivers exceptional dishware shine
I have to admit that I was skeptical. I figured I would just throw it in and see how clean the dishes came out, but I wasn’t it would make a difference. But it did! It even cleaned a bottle I found under the seat of my car with curdled milk in it. (So gross!) But Cascade Platinum got it squeaky clean. Yes!
I was also intrigued by the idea that Cascade Platinum would clean my dishwasher at the same time it cleaned my dishes. I’ve recently noticed that my dishwasher was looking a little dirty. I’d wipe it down but after a cycle or two it was back to looking dingy. I was pleasantly surprised to see Cascade Platinum did make a difference each time I used it. (Though they do suggest using a separate dishwasher cleaner to get off existing residue.) I do love a double duty product!
As a busy mom who runs the dishwasher once or twice a day, I need a dish washing detergent that works the first time and works well. I want my kids to eat off sparkling clean dishes and not worry that there are gross bits floating in my baby’s milk. I feel confident with Cascade Platinum that everything in my dishwasher will be clean. No more rewashing for me!
