Frequently Asked Questions

How much Cascade detergent should I use in my dishwasher?
For Cascade powder and gel detergents, start by trying the recommended amount on the back label. There may be times when itโ€™s necessary to use a little more or less, depending on your dish load and water hardness. For something even simpler, try Cascade ActionPacs. Each pac provides the perfect dose of clean, so you know exactly how much to use, every time.

How do ActionPacs work?
Cascade, Cascade Complete, and Cascade Platinum ActionPacs make dishwashing even simpler by taking out the guesswork. Theyโ€™re easy to use because they require no measuring, unwrapping, crumbling, or cleanup. ActionPacs contain a higher concentration of detergents than powders and gels, plus built-in rinse and shine ingredients. To use, simply pop an ActionPac into your dishwasherโ€™s detergent cup, close the cup lid, and let your dishwasher run.

My dishwasher manual says to fill both cups with detergent. Do I need to use two ActionPacs?
Nope. You only need one ActionPac because the formula is concentrated. Theyโ€™re designed to give you a convenient, simple way to dose detergent with no premeasuring.

Do I need to pre-rinse my dishes?
Actually, with Cascade Complete powder, gel, and ActionPacs, and Cascade Platinum ActionPacs, you can skip the pre-scrub and load your dishes in right off the table. These formulas contain advanced cleaning and rinsing power, so pre-rinsing isnโ€™t necessary.

What if I have hard water?
Water hardness varies depending on where you live. The good news is all of our ActionPacs are formulated with water softeners to help fight hard water deposits on your dishes.

How can I prevent filming on my glasses and dishware?
Here are some simple steps you can take to help keep your glasses film-free:

  1. Fill both detergent cups for each load (if youโ€™re using Cascade ActionPacs, you only need to use one).
  2. Try using Cascade Rinse Aid, which protects surfaces and boosts drying to prevent spots and streaks.
  3. Dishwasher water temperature should be at least 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Try running hot water at the kitchen sink before starting the load to help reach this temperature.
  4. To help prevent low water pressure, make sure that no other water is being used in the house (showers, grass watering, washing machine, etc.).
  5. Be sure the dishwasher is loaded so that no items block the sprayer arms and prevent adequate water from reaching all the dishes.
  6. Once a month, use Cascade Dishwasher Cleaner to help remove limescale, grease, and odor buildup that can contribute to spotting and filming.

We live at the coast. We have very hard water. I have used many different pods. But this exact brand and formula is the best I have found! Not one to write a review unless it is something special!

Iโ€™m not one of those people who washes the dishes completely before they load them in the dishwasher. I started off using other pod brands, and they didnโ€™t get things clean. Then I found Cascade Platinum pods, and they worked super well, but the strong scent of them gave me headaches. I didnโ€™t think that this type of Cascade pod would work as well as the Platinum, but for me, it really does. The only difference I can tell in my dishes is that they donโ€™t smell strongly of chemicals like they did with the Platinum version, the stuff is just clean! Love these and this bull option.
