Meal-time Cleanup is a Breeze with Cascade Platinum Pacs! #MyPlatinum #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.*

Do you own a dishwasher, but still have to pre-rinse or even pre-wash your dishes? 

I know that as a family of two adults and two toddlers, we are running our dishwasher a minimum of once a day and sometimes twice.  Since we split the household chores, my husband gets the fun job of pre-washing our dishes just so that our so called dishwasher will do it's job and get them clean.  Personally, as I watch the time and effort that goes into this process, I get more annoyed.  Shouldn't the DISHWASHER actually wash everything off the dishes?!  It is only 8 years old, but I'm guessing that is old enough to no longer do it's job. Honestly, it sounds like it's going to take right off out of our kitchen some nights with our dishes inside, which we reference to others as the "Ultrasonic" features.  As for detergents, I feel like we have tried them all. From the all-natural or home remedies to the super ultra-powerful powder or liquid and none have ever made a difference and sometimes things just got worse.  I know that personally, when I unload the dishwasher (or my husband does), I want to see happy, sparkly clean dishes and not the film or residue that so many soaps leave behind, causing me to feel like the icky germs are still there.  


Thankfully, we were given the opportunity to try out the all new Cascade Platinum Pacs!  I was a little skeptical to be begin with as we have tried several other pacs before with no luck, but hopeful these were the answer to our problems.

As you can see the pacs feature three different dishwashing liquids inside, along with a powerful powder.  They not only clean your dishes but also help with reducing the build-up of hard water inside the walls of your dishwasher, which is what causes that icky film I referenced above.
Now the test: We decided to not pre-wash our dishes and put them in right from the sink.  Previously, this had been a nightmare, but this time proved otherwise!  The dishes were clean and sparkly!  No residue and no stuck on food!  Even my husband was impressed! From now on, we will be using these over anything else! Convenient and efficient!

Now, more than ever, people eat with their eyes, and the evidence is all over sites like Facebook and
