| kelly60's Full Review: Cascade 2-in-1 Action Packs |
When I got my new dishwasher, I decided to try Cascade 2-in-1 Action Packs to see how they worked. I had used another brand of gel detergent in my other dishwasher and was not at all satisfied with the results. At my mother's suggestion, I had already decided to try Cascade brand dishwasher detergent. I just needed to decide which form of Cascade I wanted to try.
The Cascade 2-in-1 Action Packs are 1 1/4" squares containing powdered detergent plus dawn dishwashing detergent to degrease your dishes. These are combined in a water-soluble pouch, which dissolves during the wash cycle of your automatic dishwasher.
These come in assorted sizes of bags, with zipper seals. They are available in assorted 12, 15, 20, 28, and 50 count varieties as well as a 90-count tub. Just open the bag, drop one into the detergent compartment of your dishwasher and start your load as usual. It is really quite simple. Just make sure your hands are dry when you reach into the bag, and that you store them in a dry location to prevent the pouches from beginning to dissolve.
I have tried both the Citrus Breeze and the Cinnamon Apple Spice Scents. I find them both to be pleasant, though I prefer the Cinnamon Apple Spice Scent. The Original Scent is also available, although I have not tried that. They also have a new Fresh Rapids Scent with bleach which comes in packages of 15 or 20 count available now, although I have not seen this one in my area yet. Usually I only smell it while the dishwasher is running, and for a few minutes when I first open the dishwasher it afterwards.
The Cascade 2-in-1 Action Packs generally do a great job of getting my dishes clean; although I occasionally still find a few things that have stuck on food on them. On the rare occasion that that has happened, I may had to run half a dozen dishes back through the wash cycle since I began using these a several months ago. That is not bad odds when you consider that my kids have a bad habit of forgetting to rinse their dishes most of the time.
I like how clean my dishes come out of the dishwasher. Cascade 2-in-1 Action Packs dissolve completely and leave no residue behind. Neither my glasses nor my silverware end up covered with spots and streaks like my old detergent did.
I rarely wash my pans in my dishwasher because many manufacturers recommend hand washing only for longer life of the nonstick finish of your pans. I have washed my glass casserole pans with these though, and really didn’t expect them to come clean. I was pleasantly surprised. Although one of these was one that needed rewashed because it had something stuck onto it, if you would have seen it before it went into the dishwasher, you would understand why.
I have been very pleased with the quality of this product. I think that you will be too.
