Spend Less Time Doing Dishes with Cascade Complete ActionPacs! Review and Walmart Gift Card Giveaway



I have to say that I am the worst at keeping up on the dishes. Its not that I hate doing the dishes cause really its not a horrible job. What makes it horrible for me, is the fact that it is a never-ending task. I swear the sink isn't empty longer than hour before the dirty dishes start piling right back up and I'm right back where I started. Ughh! The worst part is that if don't do the dishes right away they get crusty stuck on food that makes your job even harder. I can honestly say that at least once a week, if not more, we eat out just because I don't want to add to the dirty dish pile up in the sink. And yes, I do realize that this is a prime example of just how lazy I really am.

Believe me when I say that I am all for any product that can cut my dishwashing time in half. Which is why I was super excited when I was asked to review the Cascade Complete All-in-1 ActionPacs. I have been a loyal consumer of the Cascade brand my whole life. Literally. The only brand I ever remember my mom using when I was growing up was Cascade. It just kind of stuck with me all of these years and seeing that I was always satisfied with Cascade's cleaning power I have seen no need to branch out and try other products.



In my early years of using Cascade it was the powder, in recent years I have switched to the gel because I like the convenience of the gel versus the powder. For some reason I have always hesitated to make the switch to the ActionPacs. My mom did and she loves them, that's all she uses now. So when I heard that Cascade had come out with Cascade Complete ActionPacs that eliminated the need to pre-wash your dishes my interest was definitely peaked. I couldn't wait to see if they really worked as well as they claimed!




As part of the review I was asked to take the 24 Hour Challenge. The challenge entailed baking so I was sent a beautiful Corning Ware baking dish to complete the task at hand. My mission was to bake a Blueberry Cobbler, eat it all up, let the baking dish sit out for 24 hours and then throw it in the dishwasher without rinsing it first. Then I had to throw a Cascade Complete ActionPac in the dishwasher and wait for the results.

See the results for yourself!




Amazing right? Needless to say, I'm sold!



Buy It!

Cascade Complete All-in-1 ActionPacs have been available in retailers nationwide since May 2nd. Visit Cascadeclean.com and print off a coupon for 50 cents off any one Cascade Complete All-in-1 ActionsPacs.

I usually do the dishes although to be fair it is not that hard. I just briefly rinse and then put them in the dishwasher. I have been using the Electosol tablet but would love to try this!

I do the the dishes along with my under counter dishwasher. I use Dawn and Cascade with bleach power packs. I use cascade rinse aid in my dishwasher also. No spots and clean, sterilized. Not embarassed to use.

I normally handle the dishes and wash by hand using Palmolive Ultra.

I generally do the the dishes and put them away, but everyone in the house is supposed to rinse their own dirty dishes and put them in the dishwasher. I've been using Cascade for years, particularly since (surprise!) not everyone takes the time to rinse their dishes. With Cascade, they still come out clean.
