Get Your Dishes & Dishwasher Shiny Clean With Cascade Platinum

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.
My mom loves to clean and always has a clean house. Growing up with her, we had a cleaning day each week and scrubbed everything until it was perfect. She wanted her dishes to be perfect, too, which is why she always used Cascade dish detergent. I learned from the best and now we not only have our own cleaning day, but I use Cascade as well!

Although I love Cascade, I have to admit that I have tried to skimp and try a different brand in the past. When I did, I totally learned my lesson. The first load came out a disgusting mess. The food did not completely wash off the dishes and my glasses had spots all over them. Double icky, right? Spots on glasses is definitely one of my pet peeves and something that will not stand in my house! When I have guests (and we do almost every weekend), I want my dishes to be beautiful and no spots are allowed on my glasses. Spots on glasses are so embarrassing, so, in the paste, I found myself pre-rinsing every single dish and cup before putting them in the dishwasher. Then, I'd hand-dry them after the wash.

I have tried several different types of Cascade and was so excited to hear about the new Cascade Platinum Pacs! These little triple action Pacs really pack a punch, offering the most powerful cleaning ability from Cascade keeping dishes "virtually spot-free". In addition, the recipe helps protect the inside of the dishwasher by preventing the build-up of a hard water film that I know all too well out here in the country. This feature was something new for me and I couldn't wait to give it a try. Talk about getting your money's worth! I can have clean dishes and a clean dishwasher, too!

Another great fact about Cascade Platinum it is so powerful that is easily cleans away 24-hour stuck on food! You know there are nights when you just don't want to do the dishes... and now you don't have to worry about food getting stuck and an inevitable second wash.

We definitely put Cascade Platinum to the test because we eat dinner at home almost every night. The dishwasher was totally full of dirty dishes, as you can see below:

The containers have food stuck to them and the dishes are dull and dirty, definitely in need of a good washing.

The boys couldn't wait to help out when loading the dishwasher the first time with Cascade Platinum and I was very happy with the extra hands!

Want to see my dishes after being washed? Even in the dishwasher you can tell the difference:

As soon as I opened the dishwasher, I could tell a difference in not only the dishes, but also the dishwasher. I immediately noticed how much shinier the dishes were.  See how shiny they are compared to the first picture? Plus, the inside of the dishwasher just seems cleaner and now I don't feel the need to worry so much about hard water or buying expensive products to deal with the lasting effects. Cascade Platinum is definitely an upgrade and something we will continue using! We highly recommend giving this a try because we love it.
