Cascade #Platinum Review: Winning! #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.”

Oh, the down and dirty fun of adulthood. Dishes (and wrinkles) have always been my nemesis. I would rather do just about anything other than rinsing dishes and getting them to the dishwasher. For reals. All that stuck on food and greasy slime that makes everything congeal together? Not cool.

I have struggled for years to try to find the best dishwasher detergent. The biggest problem being is that we have always been renters and, lets face it, most places we have lived have severely lacked in the dishwasher department. Cheap, medium cheap, and expensive alike, there always seemed to be something that each just wouldn't get off.

Enter Cascade Platinum! Cascade Platinum achieves a clean so powerful it helps keep the

dishwasher sparkling while delivering a variety of dish care benefits. In my book, Clean dishes and a clean dishwasher, with no elbow grease from me, always equals winning. 

How Cascade Platinum makes dishes completely awesome:

• Delivers Cascade’s ultimate clean for dishes
• Scrubs away tough 24 hour stuck-on food
• Eliminates the need to pre-wash dishes
• Contains the Grease Fighting Power of Dawn.
• Increased enzyme power delivers better tough food cleaning.
• Unique liquid-top dual surfactant system delivers exceptional shine for the dishes AND helps keep your dishwasher sparkling clean
• Specially designed chelant and polymer system helps prevent hard-water film build-up on your dishes, glasses and even the interior walls of your dishwasher.
• The chelant is designed to fight Calcium that comes in with hard-water and food to help deliver virtually film-free dishes wash after wash 

Let me tell you guys, this stuff has changed my life for the even better. Right out of the gate I decided to just stick the plates in the dishwasher and see what happened. We had made lasanga. The king of nasty, dried on, red sauce with cheesey-ness. That and some not so savory milk cups  found laying in various rooms around the house. 

The verdict? Cascade Platinum got everything off. Everything. It even got the spoiled milk rings out of the cups! A first ever around here! 

Now, more than ever, people eat with their eyes, and the evidence is all over sites like Facebook and Instagram. With that in mind, Top Chef judge and editor of Food+Wine magazine, Gail Simmons, has partnered with Cascade to discuss why presentation is just as important as preparation.

• From prep to plating: It’s more than just a great-tasting recipe, but also perfect presentation.
• Sparkling dishes, shining flat ware and spot-free glasses truly let you put your best food forward with culinary creations that pop!
• Gail recommends impressing with a Platinum Presentation: “The easiest recipes pop with unexpected, gourmet presentations. Drizzle bright sauces on sparkling white plates or layer desserts in crystal-clean glassware. Keep your presentation sparkling with Cascade Platinum, which keeps dishes perfect for anytime entertaining and impromptu guests.”
