My first Cascade Platinum party was so fun and totally changed the way I do my dishes! I have always loved hosting parties, it was the clean-up that I dreaded the most. But all that changed after I hosted that first Cascade Platinum party! You can read more about that here. The powerful cleaning ability of Cascade Platinum along with the Rinse Aid leaves you with incredibly sparkly dishes each and every time! No rinsing required! Wait…what did I just say?

That’s right, dishes, even the baked on, stuck on kind can go right into the dishwasher without any pre-rinsing! I have to admit I would have never done that before my first party mainly because I am very OCD about my dishes and I would always rinse and wash them before they went into the dishwasher. Now that I have seen the cleaning power of Cascade Platinum along with all of my guests, I have become a pro at throwing the stickiest, dirtiest dishes right into the dishwasher without giving it a second thought! I would rather spend my time with my guests and family than in the kitchen any day!

For my second party, I decided to host a brunch because we usually host our get-together’s in the late afternoon or evening. I found an amazing recipe for a french toast casserole that I prepared for our guests along with bacon and sausage. Oh and brownies of course, since a party is not complete without brownies! The french toast casserole was a huge hit with the guests, but it sure did leave one ooey gooey sticky pan! I prepared the brownies the night before and just threw the dirty dish right in the dishwasher to sit overnight. After we ate, I loaded the rest of the dishes into the dishwasher just as they were, sticky syrup and all! I popped one Cascade Platinum into the dispenser and pressed start. Easy Peasy.

I kept checking the dishwasher to see if it was finished because I knew my guests were sure to be impressed with the results. Having spotless, sparkly dishes every time I open the dishwasher door has spoiled me! And just as I expected…there was not a particle of food or a spot remaining. I was so happy my guests were still there to witness first hand the results of these clean dishes! Of course their main concern was where all of that food was going, but I quickly explained that most dishwashers have a built in garbage disposal built into the bottom that works in the same way your sink disposal does. I sent Cascade Platinum and Rinse Aid home with each of them so they can experience what I do each time I unload my dishwasher!

I hope you put Cascade Platinum to the test before you purchase any other brand. You will not be disappointed! Then head over to the Cascade website to leave a short review of Cascade Platinum and include the hashtag #CascadeShiningReviews. One reviewer will win a Kitchen Aid Dishwasher!
