Clean Dishes, Clean Dishwasher with Cascade Platinum Pacs #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.”

Since having the triplets, I’ve ran the dishwasher more in the past four months that I have the entire time that my husband and I have been married. I simply don’t have time to wash dishes, and I like the sanitize feature for getting those bottles clean. The dishwasher also comes in handy for washing those large bottle loads- one twelve hour period of feedings results in nine bottles! I’ve used the same dishwashing pacs for years, but I hate having to rinse every dish and bottle prior to running the dishwasher.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been using Cascade Platinum Pacs. I’ve tried these out in a few different ways. I pre-rinsed one load of dishes, didn’t pre-rinse another, and washed a large load of yucky bottles.

I was pleased to see that each load ended in the same results- ultra clean, clear dishes. I’m glad to find a dishwashing pac that doesn’t require pre-rinsing! Cascade Platinum Pacs made my glasses shine and scrubbed away dried formula. It definitely helps that these pacs contain the Grease Fighting Power or Dawn.

Busy moms (like me!) will be glad to know that Cascade Platinum Pacs not only leave dishware spotfree, but it also contains an advanced triple action recipe that helps prevent additional hard water film build-up on the dishwasher interior. We have well water, so hard water build-up is a concern for us. I love that the Cascade Platinum Pacs are cleaning my dishes and my dishwasher at the same time. This is definitely a plus over my current detergent.

As a blogger, I frequently take food photographs. My dishes for these pictures can’t be dingy and dirty- they have to be totally clean. Cascade helps make this easy by washing my dishes up correctly the first time, making them picture ready. Top Chef judge and editor of Food+Wine magazine Gail Simmons must realize this, too, since she’s partnering with Cascade.  She recommends “impressing with a Platinum Presentation”. The perfect presentation begins with the dinnerware, and washing dishes with Cascade Platinum Pacs ensures that I’m ready for any guest, at any time.

I will continue to use Cascade Platinum Pacs simply for the improvement in the cleanliness of my dishwasher. And the no pre-rinsing dishes is a great plus, too. I’m a crazy busy mom, so I need all the help that I can get.
