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 use Intuitional Cascade that I get at a restaurant supply store. I
also use Finish that I get at Costco. The combination works very
well.

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 buy Our Family brand, lemon-scented. Cascade smells terrible to
me and my husband. Our Family also has the virtue of being the
budget-priced brand. No idea how its cleaning power compares
to the "high-priced spreads". (Was that phrase from a Bluebonnet
commercial? Some margarine, anyway.)

Same here. I buy the house brand and the dishes seem pretty darn clean to me. Maybe I have lower standards.

As long as there's no finnlandization amongst my dishes, all is good ;-)

I think it all depends on how you load your dishwasher. I mean do you pre wash the dishes before you put them in ? If so, then you don't need a heavy duty detergent. If you just do a quick scrape or rinse and there is still food smears left on the dishes you need a better dishwashing detergent..

I tend to just do a quick scrape and maybe a rinse if it's egg yolk but most of the time I just scrape and put dishes in the washer and run it when it gets full. That's about once or maybe twice in a 7 day period, so food has time to really dry on there.

With the Cascade Complete they are sparkling clean and no residue in the catch basin either.

I have a 'regular' dishwasher, nothing high priced or fancy and the dishes are always clean with the Cascade Complete.

I scrape and pre-rinse my dishes, but went over to Finish because my
glasses were getting foggy. My new and still unopened box is Cascade
powder. What does Complete have that I won't have with powder and a
rinse agent?

Complete has a detergent that doesn't fog my glassware and it has the rinse agent built in. That's why it's called complete. So you aren't buying two things.

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.

They were wrong to pretend it worked, but the government took the
phosphates out. 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.

Same here. I had to laugh when one of my brothers didn't think I was
loading the dishwasher properly. (Read: it wasn't the way HE does it.)
He rearranged the utensils so that all the spoons were together, all
the forks, etc. I said what do you think you're doing? The spoons are
all nesting together!

There have been many deaths to children who ingest colorful pods, pucks, or

I've read some concern about them also. Kids get into poisons- they're
not reading labels, they don't taste them timidly and they do plenty of
damage to themselves.

I'm actually more concerned with all the "gummy" vitamins on the market
these days. 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:

The fact you never had any kids of your own, obviously.

Those things were damned good! I remember freaking out when my brother
climbed up to the top shelf where they were. He used the drawers like a
step stool, then stood on the counter, reaching. Was probably 2 then.
Opened the bottle easily. No child proof things in those days. Ate the
entire bottle of them. My mom was outside hanging laundry. I ran and got
her. She just laughed and told me that there were perhaps 3 in the bottle.

Not long after, they got a little pill holder thingie with sliding doors on
it. It didn't lock but it could be affixed anywhere. They put it inside
the cupboard door above the stove.

And my mom switched to some other vitamins. These were some off brand.
Round, multi colored and tasted horrible. Chalky and sour. I remember
demanding that *she* eat one because they were so bad.

there was a toddler death within the last couple months from ingesting
