Cascade

What has happened to Cascade!! I have used it for decades in hard and soft water, in several states and was pleased with the results. Now the film on everything is awful - I can't see me using vinegar on a daily basis. My gold rimmed dishes are suddenly discolored & I can't use vinegar on them! The glasses and flatware come out gritty. Just because phosphates have been removed shouldn't mean the product fails. Go back to the chemists and try again!!

Using 12 & Not Experiencing a Clean Load is Abusiv

I just used twelve of these in a cycle and still had more than a few plates and cups that looked unwashed! I usually use six of these on average and only 12 after a family gathering. I was SO disappointed and heartbroken. We cannot live like this!

I thought the new dishwasher was broken.

I just got a new dishwasher and the first load was completed but not great. The second load had mounds of soap and water in the bottom. It took 6 cycles to clean out the soap and these were the pods that came with my GE dishwasher. I'll never use pods again.

Cleans only half the dishes

Since the whole phosphate-free move happened a few years ago, this product has not been the same. Only half the dishes in the dishwasher ever come out clean anymore. We've resorted to washing all the glasses by hand just so we don't have to rewash them once the dishwashing cycle is complete. It's become double the work. A lot of the utensils are the same way with stuck on food. Whether the dishwasher is full or not is not a factor. It's a shame. This used to be a good product.

My food tastes like cascade

I would not recommend the action pacs! The taste of dishwasher detergent has permeated all of my plastics. Any food stored in plastic is ruined, all of my rubber spatulas transmit the taste of detergent to my food. We use a lot of plastic with 3 kids and the house and I have had to replace it all! Very costly!

great on dishes and glassware ONLY

I have been using this product since its arrival for sale and have been very pleased with the results until yesterday. I had made cupcakes using a metal muffin tin that I have had for many years. When I removed it from the dishwasher, it had turned a brownish color, about the color of tea when brewed. Now after scrubbing, I guess its ruined.

You can taste the Gain on your dishes

I have always used Cascade so decided to try the action pacs with Gain scent. The scent actually is very nice. However, I can taste the chemicals in my coffee and food. We have had to run a second rinse to try and get this off. I've thrown away the rest of the bag which irks me because they are expensive!

Simple, effective, consistent

I use these every time I load up the dishwasher. Great smell, cleans all the grease and grime off of plates and pans. These dont leave any weird residue on plates and everything feels fresh. Always get the pods in the bug container so it makes it easy to just grab one and pop it in when needed. I know exactly what to expect each time I use these and I appreciate having clean dishes without the hassle or mess.

Best for my dishwasher and dishes

I prefer cascade over any other brand. I tried switching once and immediately regretted it. I like that cascade is safe for my dishwasher and actually gets my dishes clean the first time. I love that there's no have to completely wash dishes before putting them in the wash. Just scrape load done.

Clean dishes every time

Cascade Platinum Dishwasher Pods are the only dishwasher pods I use. They consistently keep my dishes fresh and incredibly clean after every wash. I don't even need to use a rinse aid because my dishes come out spot-free every single time. One pod per load is all it takes, and the larger boxes last me quite a while, which makes them a great value. I also love the fresh, clean scent — it's not overpowering but leaves everything smelling great. Overall, these pods are reliable, effective, and make doing dishes effortless. I wouldn't use anything else. I get clean dishes every time!
