It’s been a week since I started using Cascade Platinum, and I also gave my mom a few packs to try out herself. In my last post, I told you that although she had a dishwasher, she preferred to hand wash her dishes because she felt that the dishwasher was not efficient in cleaning. She didn’t like that she would have to prewash her dishes before they ended up in the dishwasher, and then if they did get clean, she was left with a film or spots and streaks on her glasses. Personally, I am just happy to finally have a dishwasher and wouldn’t complain much about any of the downfalls of using one at the moment!
Previously my mom was using a liquid cleaner that looked ancient, and swapped it out for a few days with Cascade Platinum. I think she liked it, because just yesterday she asked me if I had any more Cascade Platinum to give her. I guess we have a winner, and she’s a tough one to please! Since I’m new to the world of dishwashers, I have only tried Cascade Pacs and have been very happy with Cascade Platinum Pacs. Both products work similarly and I have not had any issues with food left on the plates after washing or experienced streaks or water spots. The only difference and the best part about Cascade Platinum is that they also keep the inside of your washing machine sparkling clean!
Cascade has teamed up with Gail Simmons, Top Chef judge and editor of Food + Wine magazine, to explain the importance of food preparation and presentation. We all know that no matter how delicious something is, it must look good in order to truly enjoy it (unless it’s chocolate – then all rules are out!) No one wants to eat off a plate that looks like it wasn’t properly cleaned, so keep your dishes sparkling with Cascade Platinum! You can view videos on the partnership by visiting Cascade on Facebook or YouTube.

Go enter to win! It would be so exciting if one of my readers won a new dishwasher or a kitchen makeover!
It’s seeing amazing products like this that make me wish I had a dish washer!
Those discs remind me of that electronic hand game – SIMON… LOL!
These discs are so convenient and do a great job!
I love using discs but haven’t tried to new CAscade yet. I still have a huge box of old Cascade to use up first.
I’ve always used Cascade, there’s just no other detergent that measures up. And is it odd I am loving the colors of the actual detergent lol
The dishwasher I currently have I can only use Finish Quantum, but the house we just bought has a different brand and model, so I’m interested in trying out some different detergents in it, this one looks promising!
That is a great prize! My dishwasher is a bit of a bonk, despite being new, so I’d love a new one.
Nice contest and it really says a lot to know that even your mom is hooked 🙂
What a great prize! I have some Cascade Platinum and can’t wait to try it out!
I love how convenient these are to use and that there is NO mess! Plus they do a great job.
That is great to hear the product is working well for yourself and your mother.
If your mom was asking for more that’s a good sign! Sweet T would love the pretty colors. She gets to put the soap in the dishwasher and our regular Cascade is her favorite because it’s pretty. LOL.
I have tried this and like it!
I am liking this detergent as well.
I’m a huge Cascade fan!
I love Cascade. It’s the only thing that cleans my dishes.
I really have to look for this! My dishwasher would probably like it.
I am really looking forward to seeing if Cascade Platinum can conquer the hard water spots left on our dishes.
This IS a great product!
I’ve been using these lately too — and I DEFINITELY have noticed a shinier difference! 🙂
I was not disappointed when I used it today. Brand new dishwasher so I had to get the platinum detergent!
I’m glad you both liked it! I just got some & can’t wait to try it out!
I’ve been using Cascade Platinum pacs this week and I am hooked. My glasses come out of the dishwasher so clean!
I can’t wait to try this! My dishwasher doesn’t do much but dish.. no washing.. hah 🙂
If our dishwasher worked I would definitely be using the packs, I like how it’s just plop it in and go.
