Cascade Platinum Makes My Dishes Sparkle and Shine! #MyPlatinum

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.

Angeline has been complaining lately that our dishwasher wasn't working properly. She assumed that we needed a new dishwasher, because our glasses would come out a little dingy, with spots - and sometimes with food particles stuck to them.

Can I get a collective EW?

Not too long after our first conversation about our yucky dishes, and a few loads of me washing dishes by hand (oh, the horror!!!!!), I was asked to review the new Cascade Platinum Pacs. Cascade Platinum Pacs are said to deliver a powerful clean while helping to maintain the sparkling look of your clean dishwasher interior.

*cue the angel's choir singing*

Now, of course, our dirty dishes problem was entirely due to our previous detergent; part of the problem was that I'd become incredibly lazy in loading the dishwasher.

I may or may not have been skipping the whole "scrape leftover food off the plate" part of loading the dishwasher. I know, I know...I was totally taking our dishwasher for granted.

So I've been better about that, and started using Cascade Platinum Pacs the other day.

Hello, sparkly clean dishes!

So what makes Cascade Platinum Pacs so cool? For one, they have an advanced triple action recipe with increased enzyme power and it's specially designed to leave your dishes virtually spot-free because of the chelant and polymer system that helps prevent hard-water film build-up on your dishes, glasses and even the interior walls of your dishwasher. The chelant is designed to fight calcium that
comes in with hard-water and food to help deliver virtually film-free dishes.

The Cascade Platinum Pacs are now available in Fresh and Lemon Burst scents at mass merchandisers and grocery stores nationwide and they run between $4.29 for a 14 pack to $12.49 for a 43 pack. I recommend giving them a try, especially if you're having issues with your dishwasher getting your dishes completely clean like I was!

Cascade Platinum Pacs Benefits:

Powers away tough, 24 hour stuck-on food
Eliminates the need to pre-wash dishes
Helps maintain the look of new machines and helps prevent additional hard-water build-up
Delivers exceptional dishware shine

Now that my dishes are sparkly clean, I am going to feel so much better about my food photography! Check out this pic from an upcoming blog post I'm writing about summer drinks! Doesn't that glass look pristine?

After I really got into writing recipes on my blog, I realized just how important food styling was to successful blog posts. Top Chef judge and editor of Food+Wine magazine, Gail Simmons, knows this too! She's partnered with Cascade to discuss why food presentation is just as important as preparation.

Cascade wants you to show off your sparkling dishes, silverware and glassware for a chance to win great prizes by entering the “My Platinum” Instagram contest.

Yeah, it's that easy. I know that we Instagram-aholics are always sharing pics of our food anyway, so why not tag it with #MyPlatinum?
