Cascade Pacs Dishwasher Detergents, Fresh Scent, 11.7 Ounce, 21 Count

The scents of this product (and other gel newer gel packs) is overwhelming--it lingers on dishes, but ESPECIALLY on plastic containers--so much so that any food stored in them ends up taxing like the detergent scent. It's terrible. I have ruined quite a few batches of leftovers--like oatmeal and potatoes etc-- by storing it in plastic Tupperware that smells like this detergent. Why in the world is the scent so strong? Do we have to over-scent everything these days??? I won't be buying these again (and they were not cheap).

I was convinced I needed a new dishwasher and dreaded opening the door after each cycle because I knew I'd need to rewash half of the dishes. With these my dishes and my dishwasher are cleaner than I've seen them in years- without the rewash! Thank you!

I had drinking glasses that had what I called a frosted bottom from all the other d/w products I used. Other d/w products didn't remove them. I would tell people that there clean just cloudy from the other d/w products I used. One washing.. @@ the bottom of the glasses were clear.. I can see through the bottom@@.. all I could say was WOW.. If it wasn't for you commercials on how it cleans I would be stuck with the dirty looking glasses.. No more cheap brands, store brands, only Cascade platinum.. thank you...

I have hard water and have had dishwasher issues for years. Along with the detergent I have used a liquid rinse agent and the hanging basket rinse aid. I also used a booster called dish magic. That was the only way my dishes would get clean. Now, with just one platinum pac, my dishes are clean. I don't do a lot of pre rinsing either. I did not have the same results with the cascade complete pac. I am very happy I decided to try this product.

This is a great product and cleans really great, however you need to trim the squared corners from the packets. My dishwashers soap door won't open because the corners of the packet keep the lid closed too tight. If we trim the corners off , it works fine. We have a GE power saver. The packet fits great in the soap compartment , but the corners hang over the edge.

I have used Cascade products for years with great success and was anxious to try the new Platinum. Now I have a mess! My glassware, silver ware, and stainless interior of the dishwasher all have a heavy white film, HARD to GET OFF!!!! Very expensive mistake on my part. My dishwasher is only 2 yeaars old. I have never had this happen with any other Cascade Product.

I have always purchased the Cascade Action Pacs and never had an issue with them, but these Platinum pacs do not dissolve, I have even run the dishwasher twice and still did not dissolve. Going back to the Action pacs as soon as these are used up,can't afford to waste them. DISAPPOINTED

I have used Cascade Pacs for a while now, so I just grabbed one off of the shelf when I was out. After the first load in the dishwasher I had to look at the bucket, and I saw that it was Cascade Platinum Pacs with Dawn. They're HORRIBLE! I have had to run the dishwasher cycle TWICE for each load of dishes to get clean. My dishes still have food residue on them when the cycle is completed, and I have to closely inspect each dish before putting it away. This morning more than HALF of my dishes in the dishwasher had to be washed AGAIN. It is not a dishwasher issue, as I have used other Cascade Pacs before with no issues. Next time I'll have to be more careful about which detergent I pick up on my errands. I wish that they had a "be fully satisfied or your money back/product replacement" thing, but I'm probably out of luck.

I have used the Cascade gel packs for years with very good results. I decided to try the new Cascade Platinum and suddenly my Bosch dishwasher would not drain completely. I took out all the drains and I found the bottom drain coated with a white, paste-like, gunky substance, which I had to literally scrape off with a brush. I have returned to the classic Cascade...no more drain problems, the usual very good results. i will definitely stop using the Cascade Platinum and will discard the ones I have left.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought these to try something new, after one use there is a white residue stain and powder left all over all of my dishes. I re-washed them and rinsed them twice which seemed to make it worse..my pots and pans are covered in this white stain and scrubbing does not take it off.
