I'm extremely disappointed with this dish detergent. The smell is overpowering, and it lingers on the dishes even after washing. The detergent decolors the dishes badly, leaving them dull and faded. The strong smell raises safety concerns. Overall, I cannot recommend this product due to its strong smell, decoloring the dishes, and potential health risks.

Not sure if anyone has ever used the Cascade Complete packs for this but it worked and worked GREAT! Black water holding tank was stuck at telling me that it was 2/3 full when I knew for a fact that it was empty. After this last camping trip I put Cascade to the ultimate test. Here is what I did. Empty tanks, then put back about 15 gallon of clean water and added several gel packs to tanks. Drove home (about 30+ miles) giving the water a good sloshing and time to work. Emptied both tanks and filled again with clean water to rinse. Both tanks now give perfect readings as to the amount of waste water in each! Sensors are cleaner than they have ever been!! Thanks Cascade for cleaning the ultimate dirty mess!

We always have used cascade, until recently. We have been noticing a milky film and buildup in or dishes and dishwasher over the last 6 months or so. We have had our machine checked, and have been told that the formula has been changed and everybody has been experiencing the same problems. We started wiping off the dishes before putting in the dishwasher,and sometimes running a load twice, to no avail. We finally decided to save the money and handwash instead.

Wow - New Year's morning and my first cup of coffee tastes like Gain. Yum. I bought Cascade Dishwasher Detergent last month and used it for the first time on Dec. 31. I (unfortunately) put my coffee carafe in the dishwasher. (I do this on a regular basis.) This morning (Jan. 1), I made a pot of coffee with my usual coffee beans and it tasted HORRIBLE!! I dumped the coffee out, much to my dismay as the beans are expensive, thoroughly rinsed the carafe and all other parts, and remade my coffee. It still tasted like soap. I will never purchase this product again and would suggest that P&G look into this problem. Why do people want their dishes smelling so strongly of soap? Marketing gimmick? I think so.

I have used Cascade with Dawn Actionpacs with good results until I bought a new package and chose the Limited Edition Fresh Scent instead of the Citrus I have used in the past. The Fresh Scent smells very strong and even leaves a lasting odor on all my plastic utensils and dishes. The odor is so strong that it can be tasted when the clean utensils and dishes are used. I have begun washing all my plastics by hand until I get this package used up but the odor remains. I also tried running the plastics through a second rinse. I did not notice this problem when I used the Citrus scented pacs. Are there any recommendations for removing this odor from my plastic utensils and bowls?

I tried your dishwasher detergant because it was reasonably priced. Not worth the savings. It left a heavy haze on everything. I believe everything is clean but real hazy. The glasses are no longer see thru. It all scrubs off with effort. Moral to my story: I should have stayed with the other brand. Another 75 cents a box but worth it

I recently purchased the Cascade Complete with the Fresh Scent. I used it several times and each time my family told me the cups we were using for our beverages made our drinks smelled and tasted like soap! The taste and smell of soap was also in our dishes and other things that were washed in the dishwasher! The smell was also very strong in the dishwasher when it was empty. I have rewashed everything that has the odor several times but the soap smell and taste has still not gone away. I may have to throw all the cups, plates and bowls and etc. away. I will never buy Cascade Complete Fresh Scent again! Worst product I have ever bought! Very disappointed in this product!!

As a scent this has to be the worst for cleaning dishes!! OK for laundry! It isn't fresh - too highly scented. My plastics and metal trays seem to absorb the scent so when I place the trays in a hot oven the smell permeates and when I drink from the lid of a to go mug I can taste the lavender - soooooo not pleasant! Lavender and food do not mix well!!

We have the complete gel and have used about 1/3 of the bottle and have to toss it (I would rather return it) Cannot get the taste off of the dishes. Plastics are worst followed by non-stick pans, but everything tastes and smells of the citrus-y adders. Not surprizing, I also find this to be an issue with Dawn dish soap. Stopped using that 20 years ago. You now take credit for combining. I have a brand new high end dishwasher. Have tried lowering the amount of detergent to less than half of the bin, but it does not have much of a positive effect. It ran well with a different brand. FWIW, we have used Cascade Gels for years. This product looks appealing, but can't deal with it.

I am a big Cascade fan and have used both the liquid and the granular in my dishwashers for years. A few months ago I purchased the packets, they seemed very convenient and I liked how they stored under my sink? All of a sudden I started noticing a bad sour smell in my dishwasher. I went on line and went through a whole cleaning process of the dishwasher with vinegar and the smell went away. Thinking the only change I made was detergent, I started using the regular Cascade liquid and there was no smell. Just to be sure, I started to use the pre packs again. The odor has come back. Obviously in this case, convenience is not always the best choice....not sure what is different between the two formulas, but whatever it is, it is not good. This product is aweful.
