Work great and no issues there. In 2024 you got 48 washes for $16 and in 2025 40 washes for $17.99. Cost more and 8 less washes. They will clean dishes great, but they also have a sharp shrink and even liquid inside seems less.
Best dishwasher detergent EVER!!!

I have been testing this Cascade over the past few months trying to see what it won’t get off. I have yet to succeed in this task! These little packets pack a punch that even my 16 year-old daughter can’t beat! Hahaha! I am definitely a customer for life. Keep up the great work! P.S. The photos I’m including are of a wooden spoon with mostly dried on Mac’n cheese…before and after.

If I could give less than one star I would. I bought these because my dishwasher recommends Cascade. The pack did not dissolve. Tried a new pod and it still didn’t work. Ended up having to unload and hand wash everything. Don’t waste your money.

I bought this cascade platinum because your commercials claim no wash before running dishwasher, not even cheese soap or frying pan 🍳 cooked with a couple eggs

A year after the last poor performance review of the lemon scent pods - I bought a pack and yes they still have an overpowering bad smell - like mothballs - R and D needs to rethink this!

Being a mother of three I need my dishes to come out clean the first time. With the cascade platinum pods they do. My kids and me load up the dish washer put a cascade pod in and they come out clean no residue.

I've used these for years, but I'm confused why I can't find the yellow liquid. Did this change or something? I am finding the green, purple, blue in lemon scent. I've always gotten the yellow liquid because it doesn't run the risk of staining certain things like the blue can. Any information would be appreciated.

These actionpacs do not dissolve in the dishwasher. Item I got a defective pac or they aren't good.
1 reply from The Cascade Team team - 2 years ago
We are sorry to hear about your experience with Cascade ActionPacs. We know this must have been disappointing, and we are glad you took the time to let us know. Cascade ActionPacs are designed to dissolve completely in your dishwasher, leaving you with sparkling clean dishes. Here are a few tips to make sure they dissolve in every load: * Make sure the dispenser cup isn’t blocked. (Anything can block the dispenser, from a dish to something small like a utensil.) * Make sure your hands are dry when handling the ActionPac to ensure it doesn’t stick to the dispenser cup. * Low water pressure can be a factor, so try running the dishwasher when no other household demands for water are being used (e.g., showers, laundry, etc.). Because we hope to win back your confidence and get you back to the clean you expect with Cascade, please call us at (800) 765-5516 when you have a moment.

Have been using Platinum Action Pacs- Fresh Scent for years, both in our recently retired dishwasher and our new two-month old dishwasher. The Fresh Scent pacs performed well, and only a slight aroma remained when the dishwasher cycle was complete. Recently bought the Lemon Scent pacs- dishwashing performance is fine, but (a big 'but') an overwhelmingly strong odor remains when any dishwasher cycle is complete. The odor impregnates silicone utensils and most plastics, that even rinsing by hand does not remove the odor. The odor is intolerable, which led me to take the time to provide a review. Surprised that P&G keeps marketing the Lemon Scent. The Lemon Scent pacs are trash-worthy.

Thank you for sharing this with us and for your many years of loyalty. We are sorry you had this experience. Our products undergo many quality checks to ensure they get to you with the best results, so we don't expect these things to happen. We can reassure consumers that any scent left on dishes is not harmful. All our ingredients, including our perfumes, are thoroughly tested to ensure they are safe to use. Some materials, such as cast iron and plastic, can absorb odors. If certain items always pick up an odor, they could be old or worn to the point of being porous. This can cause the scent of the detergent to be more easily absorbed into the surface, and these items should be washed by hand. So we can learn more about your experience, please call us at (800) 765-5516 when you have a moment.
Pods do not dissolve.

The pods dry out quickly and do not dissolve in dishwasher. The liquid parts of the pods do dissolve but the detergent is hard and doesn't break down. Dishes are not cleaned. I've tried with pods purchased at two different times and continue to have the issue. The liquid gel works much better even though it does not seem as convenient. Not worth the money.

Our dishwasher (d/w) holds a large amount of (Cascade) liquid detergent and automatically dispenses the right quantity per washing load. Downside is that the liquid has left lots of “white residue” that I haven’t been able to remove. I recently tried another brand’s products to specifically “clean” the d/w. Nothing happened. So since I hadn’t refilled my liquid dispenser, I decided to try Cascade Platinum/Lemon pods while I figured out more d/w cleaning options. Since most d/w cleaning aids instruct using them w/o detergent. Well, after only one full wash cycle, not only were my dishes cleaned but the white residue from the liquid is also gone! Needless to say I’ll be stocking up on Cascade Platinum/Lemon pods to continue using this amazing product! Since I was trying the product, we only bought a 14-pod pouch. It would be nice for you to address better large packaging instead of the non-recycleable containers others have complained about.

I have tried using other brands since and nothing compares to Cascade. I hate that these big plastic tubs aren't recyclable, but it's really the only downside, and the tablets aren't individually wrapped in foil like they are with some brands like Finish Powerball Dishwasher Tabs. These get my dishes sparkling clean and remove even burnt on food or tough messes.

This is my favorite dishwasher detergent! I love that you do not need to pre wash. I have placed dishes with food residue still on them and greasy pans and my dishes come out clean and looking brand new! Does not leave any soapy residue. And my glasses come out sparkling without water spots. I will never buy another brand of dishwasher detergent! Worth the purchase and I definitely recommend.

I have tried many different brands of dishwasher pods from store brands (Great Value, Amazon, etc.) and every single one have left particulates on my dishes. I bought some Cascade Platinum Lemon scent dishwasher pods and have not found any particulates OR water spots on my dishes. The lemon scent fills the kitchen and smells clean and refreshing and there’s nothing nicer than having completely clean dishes. I highly recommend this!Cascade Platinum Plus Dishwasher Detergent Actionpacs, Lemon, 70 Count

Sad to say goodbye to Cascade. Yes it works great & even cleans the dishwasher! But until they offer a more ecological packaging I am out. They do have thin plastic pouches, but only for small quantities so much nore expensive. Those thick plastic tubs are ridiculous to send out as disposable. NO. MORE. PLASTIC.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We agree we must be part of the solution to reduce waste. Today nearly 90% of our packaging is recyclable; our newly announced goals call for packaging that is 100% recyclable or reusable across our leadership brands by 2030. However, that's not enough. That is why we've partnered with groups like the TerraCycle, Trash Free Seas Alliance, and others to find additional solutions. Visit spr.ly/TerraCycleLoop for more info.
