When we moved to California, I experienced a lot of frustration with getting my dishes clean in the dishwasher. We have very hard water here so it's just hard to get my dishes clean and without water spots.

So, when I was asked to participate in the Cascade Platinum campaign, I was glad to jump in.

I received this package in the mail. I started that night's dishes and was pleasantly surprised by how clean they came out. I hate pre-rinsing and these dishes came out clean and spot free even without a pre-rinse.

I like the convenience of being able to just plop in the dishwashing tab. I keep them in a cafe du monde coffee canister next to my sink.

What it is: Cascade© Platinum Pacs deliver the most powerful clean available from Cascade while simultaneously
helping to maintain the sparkling look of your clean dishwasher interior.
How it works: Cascade© Platinum Pacs feature an advanced triple action recipe that is specially designed to
leave dishware virtually spot-free and help prevent the build-up of hard-water film on dishwasher walls.*
*Use a dishwasher cleaner to remove existing build-up on wall interiors.
Why you need it: Cascade© Platinum Pacs achieve a top-tier clean so powerful that they even help keep your
dishwasher machine sparkling and deliver a variety of dish care benefits:
• Powers away tough, 24 hour stuck-on food
• Eliminates the need to pre-wash dishes
• Helps maintain the look of new machines and helps prevent additional hard-water build-up
• Delivers exceptional dishware shine
Availability and Prices: Beginning in March 2013, Cascade©Platinum Pacs will be available in Fresh and Lemon
Burst scents at mass merchandisers, grocery and retailers nationwide.

Overall, I am pleased with the new product and was glad to participate in this campaign.
