I recently had a great time demonstrating the how Cascade Platinum can make the dishes come clean in an at home party that was super fun. My guests had a great time helping me unload the dishwasher. Hey, I never said they wouldn’t have to do some housework! I am a busy mom of three after all.
First up? Making my guests mac & cheese and brownies. (Not the special kind either) Then demonstrating how they can skip the pre-wash with Cascade Platinum. What? No soaking…heavenly. I need ease in my life and I know my friends and family do too! You can see we had a lot of fun making our brownies the day before.
We left the pan of brownies to sit overnight (at least) and then tested the cleaning power of Cascade Platinum at the party. After a little over an hour the dishes were done and the pan was spotless. No gunk or goo left and I had guests that were impressed.
Cascade wants you to skip the pre-wash. 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.
- 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.
A happy guest leaving the party with a package of Cascade Platinum and Cascade rinse aid to try at home!

I wont use anything except cascade even though others may be cheaper, they are not as good
I love Cascade Platinum, in fact it is all I use.
I use Cascade in my dishwasher, but I haven’t tried the Platinum yet. Cannot wait to use it on my dirtiest dishes.
My glasses are looking a little cloudy.. I need the rinse agent to help me out with this problem!

I really like using Cascade in my dishwasher. It is my favorite.
What a great prize! Anything to make dishes easier is a win!
Just the word ‘platinum’ alone makes you think that something heavy-duty is going to happen when you use the product – looking forward to trying it out.
I really like using Cascade in my dishwasher. Thank you so much for the hints because I seem to always have problems when loading my dishwasher and I never knew there was a garbage disposal built in the bottom of the dishwasher.
I think your review of the cascade products very helpful and informative. I like cascade and have for a while now.
I just gotr a new dishwasher and it came with some cascade samples, I loved how the detergent and washer, got my dishes clean and shiny
This looks like a great product. Always looking for ways to make cleaning easier!
I like the idea of threading long handled utensils through coffee mugs handles to keep them from moving around.
