Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Cascade. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
Washing dishes is supposed to be one of those easy chores that you can let your kids do or that you can put on your to do list while you give the kids the hard ones. It’s not supposed to be up there with cleaning the bathroom in efforts of getting the job done. After a long day of work at home, especially with the kids home for the summer, I want to just toss my dishes into the dishwasher and have them magically come out clean two hours later. At least in my opinion that’s what its supposed to do.
About three months ago we moved into a rental house after making a big cross country move from Washington to Texas and I’ve been cursing at the dishwasher in this house ever since. I was told it was a fairly new dishwasher so that can’t be the problem. Well its horrible. Of course the one thing that didn’t dawn on me was that I just might be using crappy soap in it dishwasher. Just like the clothes aren’t going to come out of the washing machine smelling fresh and clean if you don’t put soap in. I started trying multiple different kinds of no name dish soaps and they just weren’t getting the job done, my husband even suggested buying our own dishwasher and yanking this one out. So I was excited to hear I’d get to try out the new Cascade Platinum Pacs.
For one I LOVE them because they are easy to use. Even my four year old can put them in the dishwasher without spilling liquid or powdered soap everywhere. After my first run my dishes were sparkling! Of course I was still scrubbing everything before I put it in so I decided to try just sticking my dishes in without all the elbow grease prior. Of course no expectations here because I was used to doing a pre-scrub in the sink and then having to run my dishwasher sometimes twice to get things clean.Cascade Platinum Pacs did not disappoint! These definitely live up to their motto, “Our Ultimate Clean for Dishes- even helps keep dishwasher sparkling.”
I now look forward to doing dishes in my house because it’s simple and easy and I can grab a glass straight out of my dishwasher to use without fear that it might not be clean.

Have you ever noticed that your Facebook, Instagram or Pinterest pages are full of pictures of food? I’ve gotten so many great ideas for dinner or desserts from friends who have posted beautiful pictures of food. Cascade has teamed up with Top Chef judge and editor of Food+Wine magazine, Gail Simmons, to discuss why presentation is just as important as preparation.
- From prep to plating: It’s more than just a great-tasting recipe, but also perfect presentation. Sparkling dishes, shining flat ware and spot-free glasses truly let you put your best food forward with culinary creations that pop!
- Gail recommends impressing with a Platinum Presentation: “The easiest recipes pop with unexpected, gourmet presentations. Drizzle bright sauces on sparkling white plates or layer desserts in crystal-clean glassware. Keep your presentation sparkling with Cascade Platinum, which keeps dishes perfect for anytime entertaining and impromptu guests.”
