Cascade.....It really works!

Its just the two of us so dishes may get washed 2xs a week in a fill load. This really gets them clean after sitting a couple of days in the dishwasher.

Gets Dishes Really Clean

We tried several different brands before we finally chose Cascade Platinum Plus and we've been pleased with the results ever since. And we've been using Cascade pods for at least 2-3 years. We also recommend using liquid rinse agent to keep glassware shining like new.

Cascade Platinum plus is great

Over the several other brands that Sam's Club sells this is the one I return to for the cleanest dishes, but with the hard water of Las Vegas, I would definitely rinse anything starchy off no matter what I was using. This leaves the least water spots, again except for hard water spots on plastics if I dont use heated dry.

Very Good

It has done a great job for me. I do no pre-wash/rinse. Has worked very well on pots/pans. This is my second purchase of this product. I highly recommend it.

Works great for me

I wash dishes pretty near every day when grandkids are over sometimes four times a day and these work best for me. Here is a pro tip (your dishwasher manual should say something about this too) if your only washing five or so dishes one pod is okay. If yer loading her up good you need two, I sometimes put three in if there's a lot of grease. Only thing I don't like about these versus the compressed solid pods is if your hands are wet going into the bucket they can stick together in clumps.

Cascade Platinum Plus Very Good for Dishwasher

I usually have used Cascade Complete which is good for baked on stuff, but Sam's doesn't carry it, so I tried Cascade Platinum Plus. It has a very good, clean finish and does better with the toughest messes. So I would highly recommend it for your dishwasher.

Good Cleaning, Lousy Packaging

Works really well and is safe for my septic system but the container doesn't seal well and we have really humid summers. The pods stick together because the humidity gets inside. When trying to separate, the pods tear open and spill everywhere. If you have air conditioning (lucky you!), it probably won't be a problem. For me, I need to transfer to a better container.

Mispronounced word in Commercial - 'Detergunt'

Have you seen the AI generated commercial where the dishwasher Repairman states: It's most likely your detergent.' The voice pronounces detergent 'detergunt'. It's a terrible overlooked detail on the marketing side. Another Boo-Boo AI mishap. Beurk!

Plastic waste

Why use a dishwasher pod wrapped in plastic, this form of plastic does not break down completely and become part of the microplastics that should be kept out of our environment

reply from Cascade

Hello Ronald! Thank you for your feedback regarding the plastic wrapping used in dishwasher pods. The film is made from Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA), which is designed to dissolve on contact with water. While we understand concerns about plastic and microplastics, PVA is intended to minimize waste and enhance product effectiveness.<br /><br />Additionally, the surfactants in Cascade detergents are biodegradable, and we conduct environmental safety assessments to ensure our products are safe for the environment. Many ingredients are effectively removed during municipal wastewater treatment processes, helping to mitigate their impact on aquatic environments.<br /><br />We appreciate your concerns and are continuously working toward more sustainable practices. Thank you for bringing this important issue to our attention. If you need further assistance please reach out to us at (800) 765-5516.

Not universal

Bought these with the hopes they would tackle grease and grime better than the cascade gel. In my GE dishwasher (about 4 years old) it foams up which starves the pump of water to spray around. Disappointed, I went back to the gel and have had no further issues

Hello! Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the foaming issue in your GE dishwasher. Excess suds can sometimes cause problems with the dishwasher’s performance. A few suggestions that may help:1. Make sure dishes previously washed with liquid dish detergent are thoroughly rinsed before placing in the dishwasher.2. Check for any spilled rinse aid or leaks from the rinse aid dispenser.3. If heavy sudsing continues with Cascade Platinum ActionPacs, you might consider trying Cascade Complete ActionPacs or Complete Gel, which tend to produce fewer suds.If you’d like to discuss this further or need assistance, please give us a call at (800) 765-5516.
