Poor product performace in my diswasher which is fairly new, within the last 2 yrs. I tried this after using Palmovive gel. I tried about 4 loads and everytime the pack was still there with little chemicals used. The pack doe not dissolve like your package states and with hardly any chemicals being used of course the dishes stayed dirty. Will be going back to the gel type of diswasher liquid.

This package is labeled "Our best Cascade" -- I was very disappointed. Yes this cleaned well, but the odor is overwhelmingly strong. I tried to overlook it, but soon noticed ANY plastic ware, even that which is dishwasher safe, absorbs the soap odor. It is VERY strong. After eating out of plastic bowls cleaned with this soap, I thought my food had been tainted or was bad. I dumped it out before realizing it was the bowls which had been washed w/this Cascade soap. This cleanser will soak into the plastic washed in the dishwasher - it doesn't fade. You have to throw plastic-ware away. Of course, I can't ask for a refund for 26 pac bag, b/c I used about 5 packets before I realized how bad it was. I don't have the receipt! Convenient for P&G -- this stuff is not cheap.

We buy coffee mugs at various sporting events. Cascade Complete liquid washed all the lettering and logos off our US Open golf mugs after only about 4 washes. We contacted USGA to see if it was their problem. Then we saw that all our commemorative mugs, even those we had successfully washed for 20 years were losing their designs.

These do not work well! Many times I have opened the clean dishwasher after it has completed running to find the Cascade pack still in the dispenser, not dissolved and dishes not clean. Also, even though we keep the container closed, the packs stick together and have to be pried apart before putting in the dishwasher, which makes the contents spill out. Since several in each container have failed, I will try another brand.

Great product, love it.

Great

I have been washing aluminum kitchen tools in my dishwasher for many years. However an aluminum baking pan and garlic press have recently become anodized and useless. Based on some internet search results, I think my new Cascade Platinum is to blame.

Great buy at the price

I will never buy this product again after my experience with the New Zealand Springs scented action pacs. We used Cascade regularly in the past but this experience was horrible. I have thrown away countless plastic storage items and nylon cooking tools because of the taste it left on my food even weeks later. The amount of food we had to throw away because we stored it in such containers was heartbreaking. It leaves a wretched soapy taste on EVERYTHING. There are reviews on a popular online shopping site that will back this up fully.

I love Cascade in general, and this was a great bargain. However, all 3 times that I've run my dishwasher the compartment did not open due to the bulkiness of the packet. I've used other dishwasher packets with no problem, so I'm assuming the addition of the orange swirl is not dissolving or expanding so the door of the dishwasher compartment can't open. I'm no manufacturing or packaging expert, but I would evaluate the thickness of the film (i.e. so the packet can open/dissolve more quickly) and also the size in general. I have a full-size Kitchen Aide dishwasher. Best Regards from Chicago
