CascadeComplete Powder Dishwasher Detergent, Fresh Scent, 75 oz, White

This powder packs a punch! The Cascade Complete formula consistently leaves dishes clean, glassware streak-free, and no mystery residue on utensils. It’s quick-dissolving, even in cooler cycles, and handles baked-on messes without the need for pre-rinsing—huge win in a busy kitchen.I love the fresh scent and that the 75 oz size lasts a while without taking up too much space. For households that prefer powder over pods (or have older dishwashers), this is a reliable, effective staple. Bonus: it’s marked as Amazon’s Choice and has over 7,000 glowing reviews, so you’re in good company.If you’re looking for a budget-friendly detergent that gets the job done beautifully, this one delivers. Clean dishes, happy routine!

I'm very pleased with the performance of this dishwashing powder. It's more economical than the pods, but cleans just as good (if not better). I like the ability to adjust the amount per load so that I'm not over or under-using detergent.It is only slightly less convenient than using a pod provided that you decant it into a more sturdy container than the box it comes in, and use a scoop. Great value for the price --- five stars.

I bought by mistake, but works great. I use pods or tablets not powder, but this works just the same. Price was extremely affordable. Dishes get cleaned well. Dissolves easily.easy of use. Product is bulky but I'd recommend. I'd use again. Price is good. Product cleans like expensive products.

How can you beat the low, low, low price of this Cascade DW powder? You can't. It's so good at cleaning, and only 9¢ per ounce! I'm guessing it's approximately 9¢ per regular full load (2 Tbl = 1 ounce). Look at the (micro)plastic wrapped pods' prices. That's a BIG difference just to not have to pour it out. Seems silly to me.Here are some tips:I have very hard water in my rental, no water softener. Often there will be a film that vinegar can get rid of, by hand washing after, but who wants to do that? Not me. Trying to justify the more expensive DW detergents I looked at their ingredients.Huh - they simply add "Citric acid"! Then charge 3x the price ! Citric acid is inexpensive, made from the peels of citrus like lemon, grapefruit, etc., so it's also environmentally friendly, and so it's also less chemicals in our homes and Mother Earth. I buy that in powder form (a wind Mill pictured on front of package) and add about 1-2 teaspoons, basically just covering the bottoms of the soap and prewash pockets. (There's lots of other uses for citric acid BTW). Then fill the rest of the pockets with Cascade powder (using less or more depending on how dirty &/or how many items there are). Perfect! Glasses are clear and dishes sparkle, everything is clean!Now, 1 reason we're buying powder is to eliminate Plastic right?Another is to better regulate the amount of DW detergent we use per the type & size of load, but also...Ever have a pot or pan that, oops! got burnt crud on the bottom somehow? Simply put some Cascade in it, a spoonful or so, fill with enough hot water to cover burnt areas and soak overnight. It'll be so easy to clean in the a.m.!If it's really bad, or it didn't clean it completely, do same but boil the water & Cascade for 10 minutes B4 leaving it to soak a minimum of a few hours, best overnight. You'll be amazed!How are people getting the DW powder wet?!? (a few reviews complain about clumping...). They can't pour apparently (even tho any spillage will simply do the prewash bit) and the wrapped cardboard container (again, not plastic, yay!) surely will get wet if lots of water/liquid gets on it. If it's sitting in liquids obviously the detergent will then get wet also and ultimately dry in clumps, not powder anymore. Huh???What are they doing getting it so wet in the 1st place? Don't understand this basic logic, unless maybe they're trying to justify the $$$ cost of plastic pods to cover their laziness and lack of basic skills? Seems easy enough to me to keep it dry. And takes what? a few extra *seconds* to pour vs throwing in a plastic pod. And believe me, I am no Suzy Homemaker.All in all, at 1/10 - 1/3 of the price of plastic wrapped pods, even with the additional citric acid, you just can't beat Cascade powder! I won't use anything else. Highly recommend!

I wanted to try something more affordable and simple for dishwashing rather than going to quantum....platinum or some other stratospheric version of dishwashing powder / tablets. So, I gave this a try. This does a reasonable job for the price. After long term use, I have noticed it gets all the dishes clean except that sometimes it will not get the coffee and tea stains. So, it's an annoyance to check and handwash those cups.Other than that, my main complaint is added fragrance. Why we need 'fresh scent' in a dishwasher and 'fragrance' our dishes, I cannot comprehend. I don't understand why a brand will go out of their way to spend a few extra cents and add something completely unnecessary. Or at the least, Cascade should offer a fragrance free version and let people choose. Because of these types of issues, new brands come up on the other end of the spectrum which will be fragrance free and free from many other harmful or unnecessary ingredients but cost a lot more.Cascade- save a few cents on your side and get rid of the fragrance.

For anyone that has a dishwasher that isn't cleaning as well as you'd like try this powder. Tablets are a one size fits all solution, they work adequately for most but optimally for very few. Powder lets you tune the amount of detergent to work for your dishwasher with your water.Powder has 3 main advantages over pods and gels:- Ability to adjust quantity to match your water quality/and soil level.- Ability to add detergent to the pre-wash.- Includes more effective cleaning components that would break down if stored in aqueous solutions (like gels).I've lived at several locations over my adult life and Cascade and Finish (powder now discontinued) Dish Powder has worked better than tablets for me at each location despite vastly different dishwashers and water characteristics. However, hard water locations will see the greatest benefit. Also Pro-tip for hard water scenarios add citric acid with your powder to boost performance and eliminate water marks.While your friends might say tablets are more convenient, nothing is more inconvenient than still dirty dishes so save yourself the hassle.

Works great for my dishwasher, easy to pour our out and smells good

Great product. Gets my dishes sparkly clean. The scent is not overpowering
