How we clean our dishes #sponsored
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.
We run the dishwasher a lot. Like at least once a day and that doesn’t include all of the stuff we hand wash. So, it’s important that when we run it, the dishes come out clean and dry the first time.
That hasn’t been the case lately. Until now. We’ve been trying out the dish tablets and the difference is super impressive.
Previously, we were having to rinse dishes really well before they went into the dishwasher. And, if we didn’t, then we were rinsing after the fact. Intentionally, I left the dishes super dirty and not rinsed at all for the very first test.
I put the tablet/pouch in the little spot and waited for the dishwasher to do it’s magic. No measuring. No scooping. No over-pouring. You don’t even have to open it!
And it did. Including the dried on spaghetti sauce on the plastic spoon (which never comes off), as well as the bowls and the glass container. Everything else was really clean, too, but the sauce is really what excited me. The triple cleaning action really worked. No spots, residue or film.
While I’m not the best at taking pictures of my food to share, I want my dishes to look good when I have guests in my home to eat. Top Chef Judge and editor of Food+Wine Magazine, Gail Simmons, has partnered with Cascade to discuss how both food presentation and the preparation are equally important! You can learn more about their partnership on Facebook.
They want to sweeten the deal even more. You can get involved with My Platinum and join their Instagram Contest! Cascade wants to see your sparkling dishes and is giving you the chance to win prizes. You just need to snap a picture of your favorite meal on your sparkling “My Platinum Plate” and you are entered. More details here!

hmm i’ve been disappointed in my dw detergent of late I might have to try this stuff out. I especially love that you don’t have to unwrap anything…um that is the hardest most annoying part when your hands are dripping wet trying to rip open some teeny tiny plastic wrapper.
You’re so right that it works beautifully! I LOVE not having to pre-rinse, although it’s a hard habit to break.
I LOVE the gel pacs b/c I don’t like messy gels/powders and they often don’t work. I like the ability to put my dishes in dirty to save time!
We just moved and have ultra hard water, I’m really looking forward to trying these to solve our buildup problems!
OK– That’s IMPRESSIVE!!
That is impressive!
ooh, look at that sparkling glass!!
I’m pretty easy going with dish washing detergent….I’d easily try this out when given the opportunity:) The bright colors are quite fun!
i would not be able to not rinse the dishes… lol, its habit for me 😉
I’ve never had a problem with mine, but the last bottle I bought seems to have changed, maybe they changed some ingredients? This sounds like I should be adding it to my grocery list to try out 🙂
I would love to try this! Our regular Cascade isn’t cutting it anymore 🙁
I really want to try this now. We have to rinse really well, and honestly we probably have to clean them before even putting them in the dishwasher. We haven’t found a detergent that will work for us. Definitely worth trying! Especially loving how easy it is to just put right in
I just purchased some of this the other day and can’t wait to try it!
I love using detergent pacs for my dishwasher. They just seem to work so much better. These ones look really great!
Love these things.
Oh, we might have to try this one. The one we are currently using is not working to well with our hard water.
We love this, my kids never pre-rinsed dishes reliably anyway, so this is perfect for us.
we have a ton of calcium deposit problems with our dishes, I wonder if it would help with that?
I love Cascade!!!
We have been using this for about a week and love it!
We have Ben complaining about how the dishes come out of pour dishwasher. I need to try these! I love that you don’t have to measure and that it cleaned dishes without be cleaned beforehand
