Glad you had a good cleaning experience, Tony. We wouldn't expect our Cascade to impart the scent of the product into the taste of food, and we appreciate you reaching out with your concerns. This could happen if the soap isn't completely rinsed off, or if the dishes have become porous. If you find certain items always pick up a flavor, they're probably worn to the point of being porous. We recommend washing them immediately by hand and rinsing them thoroughly. We'd like to hear more about your experience if you'd share by phone at (800) 765-5516.

We aim to impress you with the cleaning power of Cascade, PJ, so we&#39;re sorry this wasn&#39;t the case for your experience using our Platinum Plus ActionPacs. Our dishwasher detergents are formulated to provide the best cleaning possible and they go through extensive quality testing to try to ensure your satisfaction. However, we do know hard water and other factors may sometimes have an effect on cleaning performance. Dishes which are still dirty could be caused by any of the following reasons:<br /><br />-The water pressure may be too low. Run the dishwasher when no other household demands for water are running (showers, laundry, etc)<br />-The dishwasher sprayer arms may be blocked. Make sure they can spin freely.<br />-The cycle may not be long enough. Try a longer/heavy cycle.<br />-Rinse aid may have gotten into the wash cycle. Make sure to wipe up any spills.<br />-The dishwasher may be overloaded. Make sure items aren&#39;t too close together or stacked too tightly. <br /><br />We hope these tips are helpful, but we&#39;d like to learn more and assist further. Please give our team a call at (800) 765-5516.
