Mommy Travels: Learn About Cascade #MyPlatinum and Win a Dishwasher

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.

I have the great misfortune of doing dishes every single day, sometimes twice a day, and on a really bad day three times! So, when Cascade Platinum Pacs ask me to review them, I thought why not, I'm doing tons of dishes. Not only that, but until recently I washed every single dish by hand before putting it in the dishwasher. My friend Mel actually mocks me for doing this. I've always felt I had to do this otherwise my dishes wouldn't come out clean. Yes, this makes washing dishes a much more time consuming task.

What is Cascade Platinum

Cascade Platinum Pacs feature an advanced triple action recipe that is specially designed to leave dishware virtually spot-free and help prevent the build-up of hard-water film on dishwasher walls.
(I could have used this when we lived in Vegas! The hard water there was horrible for the dishwasher and the dishes.)

Why I Love Cascade Platinum

Powers away tough, 24 hour stuck-on food (I have three kids and I find dishes everywhere and often there's food stuck on it. I know, disgusting. Normally I would have had to soak those dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, but now I don't have to.)

Eliminates the need to pre-wash dishes (I don't pre-wash my dishes anymore! This saves me tons of time. LIFE CHANGING)

Helps maintain the look of new machines and helps prevent additional hard-water build-up (Although in Oregon this is not a huge issue, in West Texas and Las Vegas it was a major issue. To have a product that helps combat against hard water build up is great.)

Delivers exceptional dishware shine (My son loves everything to be super clean and he actually noticed how clean the silverware was. He's 12.)
