I am a Cascade Platinum Influencer!!

“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.”

Growing up, I remember the daunting task of washing dishes. I remember that my mother was not the biggest fan of the “dishwasher”, and used it as a “dish dryer”. When we did use it, was the product we used, and believe me when we got to use it, we were happy. Now that I am an adult with my own family, I know how important it is to keep the dishes clean and spotless for my children. I am a working mom, so the dishwasher is a giant part of our lives. I often think, where is MY dishwasher when I need one,but alas, one is not available (unless you count my husband). 

I have an older dishwasher, so it is important to have products that work. So many times, I have to send the dishes through the dishwasher a second time, just to get them clean. There are other times that may not work, but when food continues to stick to my dishes, I end up hand washing those dishes to get them clean. I have to admit, I am not the biggest fan of double washing and it is frustrating knowing that some of the other products I have used have caused me to re-wash my dishes.

I got the opportunity to try Cascade Platinum Pacs and boy am I glad I did. I used it on some dishes that had been sitting around all day, sent it through the cycle and when it was all said and done, my dishes were clean and spotless. It also seemed to clean the inside of my dishwasher as well (which is a plus). After reading the information about Cascade Platinum Pacs, the first thing I noticed was that it powers away tough, 24 hour stuck-on food and eliminates the need to pre-wash my dishes. That got my attention right away, because there are times I can not get to the dishes right away.

As you can see below, my dishes are so clean, and with a price tag of about $6.69 for a 23 count bag, it can certainly fit into my budget. I will be making many more purchases in the future.

To make things even better, has partnered with Gail Simmons who does a great job explaining how to impress with a platinum presentation. I love taking pictures of my food, so these are great tips.
