Cascade Platinum Review

Getting a new house is exciting anyhow, but for me it was even more so. Not only did I get a kitchen that has at least three times the counter space, but I also go a dishwasher! This is something I had been missing for almost ten years, and after years of washing every fork and spoon by hand I was happy to have that convenience again.

Cascade Platinum Review

We are almost completely settled in our new home, or at least the upper living area (the basement is another story and one that is yet to come). But to celebrate our new home, we had our families over for a small housewarming party. The day before the party, a large box showed up from , and was full of their Cascade Platinum packets, rinse aid a baking dish and even brownie mix for the party as well as our guests.

Cascade Platinum Review

The day of our housewarming party was a beautiful day – a bit hot but it was a great day to show our new house, yard and massive patio with our family. We used one of our grills to fire up some burgers and hot dogs, we had a few a salads and of course brownies! I didn’t make the boxes that came in our package, since they weren’t gluten free. But instead made my own brownie recipe to share with everyone.

It wasn’t just with the brownie baking, but from all of the cooking before hand – our dishwasher was full before our guests arrived. I should point out, that the dishwasher is new, under 2 months old. You would expect it to work perfect every time – even using regular dishwasher tabs. It is a major upgrade from doing everything by hand, but it still required a bit of pre-washing. And due to a small plumbing issue caused by the previous owner, there are some issues with a small leak whenever you run the dishwasher. It’s more of a pain than anything else – but it’s on our soon to be fixed list.

Cascade Platinum Review

I’m not going to say that the Cascade Platinum fixed our plumbing issue, but what I will say is that since I switched to using it – we’ve had less of a leak. This is actually something a friend had told me about before – Cascade Platinum had helped her dishwasher work better with the hard water she has out in the country. I was amazed at how quick we started seeing a marked difference in the leak and even more so, how clean all of our dishes came out.

Occasionally we do have some dishes that need re-washed, but compared to using just general store tabs – we have a lot less of that happening now. I still rinse a few of the dishes out of habit, but the majority of the time – they are just tossed in the dishwasher and it is put to work. The dishes come out clean, ready to be put away and there is a lot less effort cleaning the dishes and taking time out of my day.

Cascade Platinum Review

As you can see, the brownies didn’t last very long and the dish ended up in the dishwasher with all of the other prep dishes. It cleaned up easy, quickly and all I had to do is pop it in with the others. I’m surprised what a difference the Cascade Platinum tabs and rinse aid do – but after using it for a week now – I don’t think we’ll be switching back!

Cascade Platinum Review

Our guests left with their own bag of Cascade Platinum and a bottle of rinse agent. And since I can’t enjoy the boxed brownies, we sent them with a couple guests too so they could try out the test in their machines at home. It was a great surprise for our guests that they were getting goodies to take home!

  1. The woorst two things to wash is the Turkey Roaster, and when I make the spaghetti casserole– YUK!! every thing is so gross- sticken on mess

  2. My hardest task when doing dishes is having to “pre clean” everything. Our rental has an ancient dishwasher you have to scrape EVERYTHING off of plates & cookware before putting it in. Otherwise, it will still be there at the end of the wash cycle.

  3. I dont like doing dishes I have no dishwasher have never had one so I am the one left doing them.. I soak them for a while and then scrub:)

  4. My hardest task is getting dried lasagna or chili of dishes. My tip would be to let it sit in soapy water for a bit then wipe it off!

  5. I soak my dishes and stack them how they go in my drainer–sausage is so greasy that I really need it clean just as soon as were done eating.

  6. I hate doing dishes in general! I just do not like the amount of time it takes! To make it easier I try to keep my dishes up and unload my dishwasher daily.

  7. Trying to wash out eggs or cheese from pans is my hardest task. I have to let it soak for a while so it is easier to scrub out.

  8. I am always making these marvelous baked pasta things which everyone loves, then the pan (particularly bad if dried out) – it’s horrible.
    My tip is that I always have a large yogurt container or other plastic container in the sink. All silverware goes in there with the business side down in the water so they don’t dry out and get impossible to clean.

  9. Cleaning cheese off the plates and i have found before i place them in the washer i let them soak and use a herd spatula to scrape off the hard bits.

  10. I hate the way the dishes are wet when the dishwasher finishes, even though they have been through the “dry cycle”. My tip for dishwashing is to always prewash, the dishwashers job is to sanitize dishes. I hate when people stick them in there with clumps of food stuck on. the dishwasher is not a garbage disposal!

  11. I think the hardest task would have to be getting pots and pans clean that had either semi dried oil in, or something in it that started scorching. In that case, I find it best to soak for a bit and then use a scrubby pad or brillo pad! This Cascade Platinum seems soo awesome!

  12. I find it irritating trying to get milk out of the inside of tall glasses. I think dishes are easier if they are soaked first; especially if there’s baked on cheese.

  13. The hardest task to do is to scrub off food stains that has dried up. I soak the pans in hot water for a while then wash them. It works!

  14. My hardest task while doing dishes is hand washing things that can not go in the dishwasher! I put it off until I absolutely have to do it! :-/ However, I completely agree about the Cascade! It does the best.

  15. Don’t let the dishes stack up, normally only takes a few minutes to get them done and the kitchen looks so much better when it is clean.

  16. Scrubbing the food off the dishes that my father in-law likes leaving it on there… He is my worst mess, second is my son and third is hubby

  17. I line my baking dishes with foil so I do not have to struggle with the hard baked on junk! The hardest thing is when I forget to use the foil and make off lasagna or homemade Mac and cheese.

  18. Thanks for the giveaway…we inherited some older cookware/bakeware and it is difficult to get the inside corners clean without resorting to an old toothbrush…takes time.
    Our tip is to use the hottest water possible @ dishwasher !

  19. My husband does most of the cooking. I do the dishes (sometimes better than other times). That is pretty much the agreement we have had for 35 years. The hardest part of doing dishes is figuring out where to put the cleaned items. So, I ask my husband where he would like things put. And he doesn’t care, as long as he can find them when he needs them–which he can’t, because I seem to keep moving things because there are more items than space.

  20. My hardest thing is getting my 2 year old out of my way lol. He wants to be climbing on the dishwasher and crawling under my feet 🙂

  21. Washing pans is the hardest thing when doing dishes. If it is really stuck on I will soak over-night in soapy water. This usually does the trick.

  22. Well tonight I made caramel rolls– and guess what it burn and stuck on sugar in the pan–yuk– Its soaking hot soapy water at the moment for later

  23. my hardest task is getting my pans clean after cooking anything with a marinade. my tip is to not let your husband do the dishes or you will just have to re wash them :p or maybe thats just my husband

  24. The hardest part is getting dried food off the dishes! My tip is to either do dishes right after dinner or at least soak them in water and soap!

  25. My most difficult task is getting baked on food such as lasagna or cobbler off of my pans. I normally will let them soak in hot soapy water until they are easier to clean.

  26. We moved to a different house and now we have a dishwasher. We have not used it yet. We have been having to use old fashioned hand washing.

  27. I make this impossible cheeseburger pie casserole thing, my husband loves & I hate because it is so stuck to the pan. It has to be soaked then scraped & then washed…hate it.

  28. My tip is to wash as you cook and do them after meals. I never follow my own tips. The hardest thing to do is babysit six grandkids while doing dishes.

  29. I hate washing my work container since it has Italian salad dressing in it and the oil never seems to fade. However, its much easier to clean and get out as much oil as possible if I soak it for a few hours before washing it.

  30. The hardest task about doing the dishes…..well that would be scrubbing spaghetti sauce off of pans if they were left to dry accidentally overnight. Don’t know why, but it seems to be the worse when it comes to caking onto pans.

  31. I think getting of eggs and melted on cheese are the hardest to get off, I try to soak dishes asap to make getting dishes clean easier

  32. my hardest thing is getting caked on food off. my tip is to rinse your dish as soon as you are done with it and put it in the dishwasher.

  33. My hardest task is when I make my Taco Casserole in my casserole dish. No matter how much I spray it with no stick spray it always sticks to the dish. My best tip is to put a little bit of baking soda in the dish or pan after you use it and let it soak.

  34. I usually try to wash dishes while the kids are at school. This way I don’t have to worry about them getting into trouble while I am occupied.

  35. The least favorite part of the dishes is cleaning the lunch tupperware. My tip is to clean dishes while making the meals so it doesn’t end up a huge chore after every meal.

  36. The hardest part of cleaning dishes to me is when the pots and pans get sticky with bits of food stuck on them. My tip is to put a little water and dish detergent in them and boil it for a few mins on the stove. Lifts the stickiness right away with no extra scrubbing from me.

  37. I can’t stand hand washing dishes, especially if there’s caked on cheese on them. My tip is to soak dishes that have hard to remove food on it.

  38. I hate cleaning the pots and pans! Especially my big skillet, because it doesn’t fit in the dishwasher. But, I have found that if you sprinkle baking soda in it and then pour some vinegar on top, it helps bubble off the gunk.
