For years, we've used Cascade in powder form, then gel. It worked well
until it had to be reformulated to eliminate phosphates. After that it was OK, but not as good. A couple of weeks ago we bought a new KitchenAid dishwasher. It was an improvement and we were quite satisfied with the outcome of dishes, glassware and flatware. It also came with a trial pack of Cascade Platinum in pellet form. I put it aside for a while We had a full load of mixed items and I figured I'd try the pellets. Dropped it in, pushed the buttons and went to bed. Next morning, the results were fantastic. This stuff is even better than the old phosphate formula. Glasses sparkled like the day they were new, not a spot on the stainless steel flatware. I did not check the cost per load, but this stuff is better than anything we've used to date. I'm willing to pay a little more. |

I'm willing to pay a little more. Recently bought Cascade Platinum... sold in a plastic tub of 72... works great. I don't remember the price, but I run the dishwasher maybe once a week so I don't consider the cost. I really don't mind doing dishes by hand... I wash all cookware by hand anyway so a couple of dinner dishes each evening is no biggie, and I wash catfood bowls by hand too or I'd need to own about forty. The dishwasher is mostly used for company dishes, and that's when I put in the stove grates and drip pans and other odd items |

I dunk em in a dishpan of soapy warm water, after scraping off anything larger than a turkey carcass. I don't let 'em sit in the d/w for long either. A couple of hours, tops. I don't use a rinsing agent either. I don't have enough dishes and tools to go 7 days - agh. If I decide to save the dishes for the d/w, it's never more than those of b'fast, lunch and the dirties from of some heavy cooking. |

I use some Cascade tablets (whatever they're called). They do a fine job, as did the Finish tabs I've used. I don't rinse dishes at all, and they machine runs every 2 to 3 days. If there is ever a dirty item, it's because maybe it wasn't loaded correctly, or it was blocked. I hardly ever have to give anything extra attention, never the glasses or the plates. However, I do think that Cascade made a mistake taking the phosphates out of the powder I used to use and pretending it still worked. One day, dishes were coming out all cruddy and I didn't know why. My brother's dishes were even worse, he's got hard water and his whole machine and dishes were coated with white powder. Until I bought him a bunch of Finish tabs, they didn't know what was going on. nancy |

Probably a good thing for the environment, not so good for dishes. The gel sucked too. These Platinum pacs solved the problem. The cost works out to 21 cents a load. |

It just begs for kids to be attracted to them, right??? But, but... my mom gave us kids chewable Chocks vitamins (ever heard of those?) every morning with breakfast in the 1960's. What's the difference between those and gummy-vitamins other than a few decades? Both were/are geared towards children. Fruit chewable vitamins were so parents didn't have to make kids swallow pills. I don't know about other people but we didn't think of it as candy. Just for fun, here's an old commercial about Chocks kids vitamins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7S2_wDAyLA Jill |

Of course I was a toddler. :) But I didn't really toddle around much until I was about two. I was extremely pidgeon-toed. For a while I wore shoes with a bar between them to straigten out my feet. At any rate, there wasn't much of interest in the kitchen. And my mother would have had the common sense to tell us no. If kids these days take that as a challenge, well, that's a shame. Jill |
