Cascade Platinum Means No Pre-Wash? I'm In! #MyPlatinum

Disclosure: 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.

Sometimes, I don't even know why I have a dishwasher.

Most of the time, I pre-wash everything so well that it probably doesn't really need a trip through the dishwasher.  I feel so wasteful, when I do this - my water bill is already pretty high as it is.

I think that habit started back when I used cheap, generic dishwasher detergent, and my dishes wouldn't get clean unless I DID pre-wash the heck out of them.

Cascade Platinum says they're here to solve my problem!

Their new formula, uses increased enzyme power to get that nasty grease off your dishes and glassware. So, even food that's been hanging out for 24 hours (umm, do you really leave your dishes out that long? Tisk, Tisk!) is tackled by Cascade Platinum. 

The liquid top surfactant formula is so powerful, that it goes beyond just getting your dishes shiny - to keeping your actual dishwasher's interior sparkling clean! Plus, the chelan (chemical compound) in Cascade Platinum helps break up hard-water calcium deposits left on your dishes. Double duty - BAM!

Since trying Cascade Platinum, I actually think my dishwasher looks whiter and cleaner (no filmy residue) than before. My glassware also looks pretty darn spotless! Hey, they weren't kidding.

Ooooh, look how pretty! (Cascade Platinum pictured above).

Speaking of pretty.  If you're into taking photos of your food as much as I am you'll appreciate how Cascade Platinum can get your presentation platters "camera-ready."

Even, Top Chef judge and editor of Food+Wine magazine, Gail Simmons, has partnered with Cascade to discuss how important presentation is in food prep:

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.”
