We have hard water. Like really hard water. Up until a few years ago I never understood why my mom would always complain about hard water but one of the most annoying things hard water will do is leave a white residue on everything. Most of you know it as soap scum in your showers but when you start seeing the white spots on your dishes it’s not pleasant.
Now hard water isn’t dangerous. All it means is that our water has a high mineral content. However, that mineral content starts to pile up. When it comes to our dishes I’ve found a lot of dish detergents made for our dishwasher often struggled with giving us shiny, clean glasses.
So when I was asked to try the all new Cascade Platinum Pacs I figured it as worth a shot. I’ve lived here now for almost ten years and have pretty much given up. I’ve even stopped buying those refills to help with spots because I wasn’t seeing a difference.
What it is: Cascade© Platinum Pacs deliver the most powerful clean available from Cascade while simultaneously
helping to maintain the sparkling look of your clean dishwasher interior.
How it works: Cascade© Platinum Pacs feature an advanced triple action recipe that is specially designed to
leave dishware virtually spot-free and help prevent the build-up of hard-water film on dishwasher walls.*
*Use a dishwasher cleaner to remove existing build-up on wall interiors.
Why you need it: Cascade© Platinum Pacs achieve a top-tier clean so powerful that they even help keep your
dishwasher machine sparkling and deliver a variety of dish care benefits:
• Powers away tough, 24 hour stuck-on food
• Eliminates the need to pre-wash dishes
• Helps maintain the look of new machines and helps prevent additional hard-water build-up
• Delivers exceptional dishware shine
I really wish I had taken a photo of one of my cups from before. It was horrible. These cups are so much cleaner then were before. I would have just washed a load with the other brand I was using but it wouldn’t be fair as even my whole dishwasher seems cleaner.
I’m definitely impressed. I’m definitely switching.
Now, more than ever, people eat with their eyes, and the evidence is all over sites like Facebook and Instagram. With that in mind, Top Chef judge and editor of Food+Wine magazine, Gail Simmons, has partnered with Cascade to discuss why presentation is just as important as preparation. Being a blogger who shares my favorite recipes I totally understand what she’s saying about starting with a great clean plate.

I’ve amazed that they’ve come up with another product that works better than the regular Cascade. I’ve used the regular ones, whenever I have something that has been baked in the oven and sticks too bad. They work wonders…
I am getting disappointed with how my current detergent is working. I am thinking maybe because my dishwasher isn’t new anymore. I will defiantly give Cascade Platinum a try and see if I am as happy with it as you are.
I need a new dishwasher. Ours broke and we still haven’t replaced it. I’ll have to let my brother know about these
I love cascade an havent tried this new one yet
we’ve used cascade in the past and loved it, but havnt had a chance to use these platimun packs yet. i’ll have to give them a try
I’ve used liquid cascade for many, many years and have always loved the results. Would love to try the pacs and see those results.
