Sparkling clean dishes made easy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like Cascade Platinum because it is highly effective at moving grease and stuck-on food from dishes. Just pour it into the dishwasher dispenser, and it does an excellent job cleaning away tough messes-even after particularly greasy meals. What I appreciate most is that dishes come out sparkling clean, with no residue or cloudy film left on glassware. The fresh scent is pleasant and mild, not powering. The large bottle also lasts a long time, making it a convenient choice for household that run their dishwasher frequently.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked this product. I think it turned out super well. It was easy to use. It fit perfectly in because it was liquid so I didn't have a problem with my dishwasher being a little smaller. It smelled very clean. I loved that it was streak free I would most definitely use this product again.

Cleans effectively

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried Cascade Platinum Gel Fresh for the first time and I'm hooked. I first used it to pre-treat some dishes that had stuck on food. Then I added it to the dishwasher after I filled it and ran the dishwasher and let the product work its magic. I'm very impressed because my dishes came out sparkly clean and I didn't have to scrub any food off!

Effective

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't used a gel dishwashing detergent in some time so I was curious if it would work as well or better than the pods that I had switched to. It worked fine, but I didn't notice a notable difference in its effectiveness.

Not for me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The dishwasher was pretty full, so after breakfast I added more dishes and started it right away. The bottle says no pre rinse needed. So from a breakfast plate that had ketchup on it still - it didn't come off. I did another load of dishes the next day and not all of the dishes come out clean even with a partial pre rinse. I also don't think dish detergents need to have a strong scent. Doesn't seem right eating off of it. However, they shipped it in a plastic bag and there were no leaks when I opened the package. Lid was easy to open, and product is easy to pour out, but this product is just not for me. I will be sticking to pods.

Excellent clean

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This detergent provided an excellent clean. No cloudiness on the glasses or residue in any of the dishes. I like that it incorporates Dawn - I use Dawn on everything at this point! I prefer liquid detergent to pacs - I think it gets a little cleaner

Wonderful cleaning power and the familiar Dawn scent!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stuff was fantastic! It smelled really great and left no streaks or residue on the dishes. It was easy to open despite being a child proof bottle. I often struggle with child protective packaging due to disabilities but not this one! I filled up my dispenser and immediately smelled the familiar scent of Dawn. Im so glad I got this free but absolutely sould buy and continue using.

Cascade Platinum Gel Fresh

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Cascade Platinum Gel Fresh is fantastic! It gets dishes clean without leaving streaks or residue behind. It just leaves clean, fresh smelling dishes. It's easy to use and does all the hard work for you. Would be my number one recommendation for any dishwasher user.

Has great cleaning strength

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cascade platinum gel fresh packs a nice punch when ot comes to good cleaning strength. It dissolves completely after a full wash. It has that classic cascade packaging and it a good bang for your buck. It's gets a durable clean on stuff to clean pots.

Over perfumed and not good on plastic

Firstly, it is over-perfumed. I don't want my dishes to smell like laundry. Secondly, it is not great at cleaning especially plastic/melamine. It leaves a greasy film on plastic items. (I use rinse aid) Glass, flat wear and ceramic/porcelain come out clean but the aroma is so off-putting that I rinse everything before using. I use it now for only the prewash cycle, this gigantic size is a lifetime supply. I can not recommend.
