Disclaimer: 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.
I’m one of those people who thinks that you shouldn’t have to pre-wash dishes that go in the dishwasher. Scraping off bits of food and what-not, sure. But having to break out the sponge and wash the dishes before they go into the machine just makes me think, “What’s the point of having a dishwasher?”
Unfortunately, the way that I think hasn’t always jived with how it’s been. I’ve used dishwashers that needed the dishes practically spotless going in for them to be clean. Others left water spots on the glasses, even when a rinse aid was used. I’ve pre-washed many-a-dish, and with every dish I thought, “What’s the point of having a dishwasher?”
Then, I learned about Cascade Platinum Pacs – the latest and most powerful dishwasher detergent packs from Cascade that are designed to really get your dishes clean. Even dishes with 24-hour old food stuck on them. Wow.
Another bonus with Cascade Platinum Pacs is that they help prevent additional hard-water film build-up, which is great for those of us who are on mineral-rich well water.
I’m excited to test out and learn more about Cascade Platinum Pacs and am honored to be a Cascade “My Platinum” Ambassador. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing more about the new Cascade Platinum Pacs and how they’ve helped me make gettin dishes clean even easier. We’ll also be sharing some information about the “My Platinum” Instagram contest, where you’ll have the chance to win some great prizes, as well as share some tips about food presentation from Top Chef judge and editor of Food+Wine Magazine, Gail Simmons.

May 28, 2013 at 1:46 pmI’ve always scraped the dishes before putting in the dishwasher. Cascade is a wonderful product and I’ve been using it for years.

May 28, 2013 at 9:48 pmI’m curious to see how they work for you. I always wonder if it is the dishwasher or the detergent that really holds the power of clean dishes.

May 29, 2013 at 9:55 amI liked Platinum until it left green splotches on my white dishes from the dye–talked to P&G. Just going to use another Cascade.
Maanged to get the green off with baking soda.

May 31, 2013 at 7:57 amI’m really curious to see if the dishes, flatware, and glassware really come out clean without a pre-rinse. Or, should I say, the pots and pan!

May 31, 2013 at 1:17 pmWe’ve had the same problems, especially after making scrambled eggs in the microwave! I’d have to wash it while it’s still fresh. I haven’t tried Cascade yet, but now that you mention it, I’ll look into it this weekend when shopping. 🙂

Shelia Noble says
June 3, 2013 at 7:15 amI just want to know if it works like it said. I hate to pre wash the dish before I put them in the dishwasher also.

June 4, 2013 at 12:07 pmi hate rinsing the dishes so i will try these! my son never rinses just put them in the dishwasher so this might be a godsend!
Susan Johnson says
June 4, 2013 at 3:56 pmI’ve never found anything that works better than Cascade. I use the Cascade Complete powder, because I have an older dishwasher, and haven’t tried the packs. I have tried other brands’ packs but they aren’t as good as the Cascade powder.
Amy N. says
June 4, 2013 at 8:57 pmI have a strict rule in my house, everything must be soaked in water as soon as you’re done with it! That way I don’t have to do much to them, I can put them in the dishwasher and let Cascade do the rest. I’ve always used Cascade!

June 5, 2013 at 10:43 amCascade always has cleaned my dishes, and I like that the new prewash Cascade Platinum is coming out, and I want to see if it really works without prewashing. I bet it does!
Donna says
June 6, 2013 at 1:22 amThanks for this information. I am one who always pre washes everything as well,it would be nice not to have to.
Mer says
June 11, 2013 at 12:15 pmThis sounds worth a try. I do get annoyed at prewashing, as it takes so much time.
Deb Dorrington says
June 11, 2013 at 4:35 pmI wasn’t sure about this product until I finally used it. I received a free sample and used it the next day. I an honestly say that my dishes have never been cleaner and I am now using it all the time and I’m so happy not to have to prewash my dishes anymore!!
