I like to think that I don’t just fall for advertising schemes and simply take a company’s “word for it”. After all, I took MULTIPLE Marketing classes in college and I know the sneaky schemes first hand!! (PS – This is why I changed majors my third year!) Anyway…
So, Cascade claims:
“The Complete All-in-1 ActionPacs™ combine the best of powder and gel in one powerful pac to conquer tough food cleaning and greasy messes.”
Let’s test this out shall we? Because today, I NOT simply taking a company’s word for it. I am going to do a test with Cascade Complete – to find out the truth on how they really measure up to cleaning my dirty dishes!
So, I took the 24-hour challenge… including:
- Bake a Blueberry Cobbler
- Set the empty baking dish out for 24 hours
- Without rinsing, put it in the dishwasher with Cascade Complete
- How much more messy do you get, than a blueberry cobbler baking dish?
It only took 2 days to eat the cobbler (with a little help from the hubby). It was delicious! And once the cobbler was gone we left the pan out in the open air to get super stuck on! (BTW – This made me cringe, because I absolutely HATE when dishes go un-washed… literally I have a panic attack – I’m fun to live with right?)
Don’t answer that! 😉 Back to the test… so the dish went the dishwasher, all dried and crusty. I loaded it with all of my other dishes from the day – because this would be a better test for me than loading it alone.
All the while, I am still cringing at the thought that ALL of the dishes are going to end up dirty after this wash. and I will have to do a re-wash in the dishwasher, or worse, scrub by hand.
I put the dishes on the normal wash cycle (not the pots & pans wash or the short wash)… and well, see for yourself how the pan turned out! Honestly, it did pretty good except for the one spot! I was really surprised it did so well, after knowing how stuck on it was!
The Cascade Complete All in One Action Pacs really did the trick. I noticed my other dishes and silverware were a lot more clean too! The results were better than when I use my everyday, dry powder detergent (which is also cascade!) I am so impressed with this little Gel Pac – I can’t believe you can put that dirty of a dish, with no pre-washing/soaking! It was really “caked” on – and the results! Wow!
