Cascade Platinum - How to Achieve Immaculately Clean Dishes Every Load!

This review was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Cascade. I was provided the featured product free of charge to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% mine. 

 

When I open my dishwasher in the morning, I expect my dishes to come out clean.  I can't even begin to describe my frustration when I find my "clean dishes" left with stuck on food left one them.  I also find it disgusting when I pour a drink, only to find food and grime in the bottom of the glass - especially after I'm finished drinking it!

What would you say if I told you I was going to let you in on a little secret?  Would you like to be equipped with the knowledge and tools to achieve immaculately clean dishes every time you run your dishwasher – saving you time, and helping to make the chore of dishwashing less daunting?

Pure and simple... Cascade Platinum!  It's Cascade’s  most premium product.  Designed to achieve a clean so powerful it helps to keep the dishwasher sparkling, while also delivering immaculately clean dishes each and every time. It even powers through tough 24-hour stuck-on food!

A couple of my favorite perks of using Cascade Platinum is that is has the grease fighting power of Dawn, and I don't have to pre-wash my dishes! After all, the whole idea behind using a dishwasher is not having to wash your dishes by hand.  Am I right?

I love unloading the dishwasher without having to re-wash any of the dishes inside.  One wash and they are done!  Cascade Platinum does what no other dishwasher detergent has ever done for me - immaculately clean dishes! 

 

KEY TIPS TO ACHIEVE IMMACULATELY CLEAN DISHES:


1. Use Cascade Platinum detergent and rinse aid (included in this kit). 

2. Skip the pre-wash.  It’s  true!  This is a key step for success in the dishwashing process, and just about everyone gets it wrong!   

Here’s  why you need to skip the pre-wash: Cascade Platinum works best when food soil is left on dishes because its special enzymes latch onto that food, breaking it down so it can wash away. If  there’s  no  food  soil,  there’s  nothing  for  the  enzymes  to  attach  to  and  your  detergent  isn’t  working  its  hardest  for  you. 

3. In lieu of any pre-washing, simply toss the large bits of food into the trash or garbage disposal and then stop there. No need to run anything under the water. Just load into the dishwasher. This is a key time-saving  tip  that  we  hope  you’ll  greatly  appreciate! 

4. Don’t  worry  about  food  left  on  the  dishes damaging your machine or pipes. Few people know that there is a garbage disposal built into the bottom of almost all dishwashers – but there is! That disposal works exactly like the disposal in your sink.   

 

5. Follow these tips for loading your dishwasher  with  success:
  • Stack your dishes high and low but please be sure that bulky items DO NOT block the sprayer.
  •  Place tall dishes and pans in the back of the bottom rack so they DO NOT block the detergent chamber.
  • Place glasses and other fragile items in the top rack. This helps keep them from the powerful sprayer under the bottom rack.
  • Set glasses between tines on the rack NOT over them as wet contact points can cause spots.
  • Thread any long utensils through coffee-mug handles to help keep them secure in the wash.
  • Check  to  ensure  that  there  aren’t  any  stray  utensils  that  will  block  the  nozzle  or  sprayer.
  • And a special call out for any big dishes: load them on the bottom rack, face down so the water is sure to reach all the nooks and crannies.

I  highly encourage you all to try Cascade Platinum for yourself!  Cascade Platinum is available in two refreshing scents, that will leave you entire kitchen smelling clean and fresh: Fresh and Lemon Burst.  Which scent will you choose?

I really want to try Cascade Platinum Rinse Aid! I currently don't use a rinse aid of any kind, and the water spots on glasses drive me nuts!

I use my dishwasher for most dishes to get them immaculately clean, but I hand wash certain things, like some silverware, anything with wooden handles, etc., and some pots and pans.
