Cascade complete is horrible

Cascade complete leaves an odor & an aftertaste on the dishes. I have never used a dishwasher soap that has the same type of perfume like odor. This stuff not only smells, it does not clean as well as the other brand of tablet dishwasher soap I usually use. I purchased this product by mistake and since it was a week or so after purchase before it got used, I no longer had the grocery store receipt and could not take advantage of the money back guarantee.

Lavender scent is disgusting.

I've been using Cascade complete tabs for years now and have been happy with it. We recently purchased a large tub of the lavender scented ones. The smell is horrible, it makes your dishes smell like laundry. The worst part is when I eat off the dishes and my food tastes of lavender. It's ruined many meals. I won't be purchasing it again.

Won't dissolve

We have been using cascade complete action pacs for 3 years now and have never had a problem-no film, packs dissolve completely, dishes sparkling. The last 2 bags that I bought will NOT dissolve in the dishwasher. I open the dishwasher after the cycle is over and the pac is sitting on the bottom of the dishwashwer halfway dissolved with a powdery mess all over it. I have had to start cutting the plastic coating off and just putting the powder and gel stuff in. After I finish this bag, I will not be buying this product again.

UnGarlicked

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.

Cascade Extra Action w/Dawn Gel Packs 4x Concentrated 110 Packs

This detergent doesn't dissolve, leaves dishes dirty and makes my dishwasher leak! I called them and although they fully support their product, they are sending me a coupon to replace it with something else. I did have to replace my rug in front of the dishwasher because it leaked so many times, which cost over $40 but at least they are sending me a coupon for something that will hopefully work better.

gel pacs

I was interested to try the gel pacs to reduce the amount of plastic I was carrying home. But they do not do the job in my dishwasher. Glasses and cups did not shine; dishes were clean (I hope) but did not look sparkly clean. Very disappointed, I switched back to the dish washing gel in the bottle.

New Fomulation Does not Clean and Leaves Deposits

Ever since the elimination of phosphates Cascades does not clean as well and leaves a white deposit on the dishes. Went back to an old box of Cascade I had left over and behold, clean dishes. They were clean with no white deposits. I know this is due to EPA regulations but please, P&G there has to be a better way. I'll continue to use the old formula until I run out.

I don't like it at all!!

I have purchased Cascade products for years and have been satisfied with the results until now. I purchased a 120 oz. box of Cascade Powder w/Dawn a few days ago. I would NEVER buy it again nor would I RECOMMEND it. It leaves a white film all over your dishes! At first I thought I needed to clean the dishwasher & did so. Then ran another load of dishes. The same thing happened. I had to wash everything by hand then. I had to scrub the glasses to get that film off! Now I have this HUGE box of Cascade that I can't use because it is an inferior product. I'm out the money I spent on it too. I can't take it back because I have used some of the product. I'm debating on trying the little packets, but what if they do the same thing? Sorry for the negativity Cascade, but this product STINKS!!

Not for hard water

Action pacs are not working for my dishwasher. I have hard water and one pac does not clean thoroughly. I was told by P&G agent NOT to use two pacs. Light browns stains remain in dishwasher and on dishes, though I rinse prior to loading. I even compensate by putting LESS dishes in racks and check for proper loading. Rather defeating purpose of dishwasher, it seems to me. Still having problems...that I did not have with Cascade powder. So it is back to powder for me.

No phosphate-no good

I have a brand new dishwasher. I have had the manufacturer out two times to check the machine because there is still food left on my dishes. I have always used Cascade before and have been more than pleased until the phosphate has been removed. I am SO tired of having to wash my dishes by hand and put citric acid into my dishwasher all of the time! Please reformulate or let me know where to buy the old school Cascade Dishwasher Detergent!
