We have an ongoing fight in my house about the dishwasher. I think that everything should be rinsed well before it is put into the dishwasher. My husband thinks that the purpose of the dishwasher is to wash the dishes and we should not have to rinse them. We found our compromise in Cascade Complete All-in-1 Action Pacs.

I was skeptical at first when I got my package in the  mail from My Blog Spark. According to Cascade’s “24 Hour Challenge,” I could bake a blueberry cobbler and let the baking dish set out for 24 hours. Then, without ever rinsing it, I could put it in the dishwasher with a Cascade Complete and it would come out completely clean.

My family isn’t into blueberry cobbler, so I made a casserole. Normally I would let the dish sit in the sink for a few hours and rinse it out before I put it in the dishwasher. I would then use my special “casserole scrubbing” function on my dishwasher to aim the water right at the dish. Even then, it might not get perfectly clean. Most of the time, I never even bother putting the casserole dishes in the dishwasher because of that. This time, I did what the challenge said. No rinsing, no scrubbing. No special pot scrubber function. Just Cascade Complete and a normal wash.

How excited was I when it came out clean?? No stuck on food at all. I had always used the regular Cascade gel pacs before, but I am now a believer in the All-in-1 pacs. Will I stop rinsing my dishes? It’s not likely. I still don’t like them to sit in the dishwasher for a day or more with gross food on them. But I won’t be so worried about scrubbing them down. And I will be more likely to put the casserole dishes into the dishwasher rather than scrubbing them by hand.

  2. I love having a dishwasher,but what I most dislike having to wash off my dishes would have to be scramble eggs. Go cascade complete, I’d love to get some again but have been forced to get the cheap stuff due to financial difficulty.

  46. I can’t decided if it’s dried egg yolk or dried on oatmeal that is THE worst to get off dishes!!!

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  52. I think my Lasagna pan is the hardest to clean. I always have to soak it overnight. I haven’t tried the Cascade Complete All-in-1 ActionPacs yet, but now I will. Thanks for having the contest!

  69. Anything with melted cheese or caramel would be the bane of my dishwashing existence — once either gets set into a plate or pan, it takes more than a little elbow grease to get it off!

  72. Thanks for the giveaway…it’s a three way tie as to the most difficult type of food to wash off pot-pan-dishes: baked/ refried beans, egg dishes, and any meal that includes my wife’s homemade marinara sauce !

  191. I hate washing oil off the most. Or dried on food. I have used this dishwasher detergent and I love it. I think it works better than any of the others I have used in the past.

    Reply

  201. Anything greasy – How I hate to touch much less wash anything greasy so I put everything in the dishwasher (I usually use Cascade) to deal with the grease and then I can wash by hand if needed (usually not needed).

  209. I hate to wash dried frosted mini wheats off of a bowl. They are so hard to get off. lol Thank you!

  213. Friend potatoes! for some reason they always burn at the botton and are impossible to get off the pan!

  217. I hate washing off any dried-on foods. My DD is fond of leaving cereal bowls in her room and by the time I find the bowls the cereal has been dried on the bowl for two days. YUK! LOL

    Reply

  224. I’d say it’s a toss up between two things that my daughter tends to leave out and sit… either mac and cheese or oatmeal!

    Reply

  248. I really despise cleaning the bowls after making scrambled eggs in the microwave… oh, and plates that have dried on melted cheese! Ew!

    Reply

  257. I have always had a problem with Lasagna or chicken parmesean ( anything with pasta sauce that has been baked with cheese). I always rinse my dishes out, but when we have lasagna for dinner, I soak it then wash it by hand. I would love to try the Cascade Actionpacs to see if they really work like they say.

  266. I hate the mess of cleaning up after any baked pasta with cheese dish. The cheese always bakes on and scrubbing is a bummer! Thanks.

    Reply

  276. I’m with your husband I don’t rinse and I can’t live without my cascade complete…We love our pasta but paste sauce is my Nemesis

    Reply

  283. Egg. Oh how I hate dried egg. The only thing worse is when there’s a large clump of peanut butter on the knife (WHY CAN’T YOU WIPE THE KNIFE ON THE BREAD?) and it doesn’t wash off, but instead becomes cooked on.

    Reply

  287. My baked homemade mac and cheese can give any glue on the planet a run for its money. It is a real pain to wash off.

    Reply

  289. I would have to say my toughest is eggs from breakfast so I’d love to put Cascade to the test! Thanks for the chance!

    Reply

  290. My grandson loads his dirty dishes into my dishwasher- which I turn on about once a week- YUCKO. I soak, scrape and rewash until they’re clean.

    Reply

  291. how about dried oatmeal from breakfast that someone left the bowl on the table so its crusty and yummy

    Reply

  294. I hate rinsing dishes! My family just piles them up in the sink, and I never know what I will find at the bottom. I would love to give this a try (I am sure that I cannot give up rinsing all together, too ingrained in me) Thanks!

    Reply

  301. I do use the Cascade complete for my dishwasher and have been very happy with the results, the one thing that I always have to scrape off first is peanut butter, my kids use alot of peanut butter and they never remember to rinse the dishes or silver ware first they just stick it in the dishwasher and I always go back and re-scrub the items to be sure it comes off in the cycle. Thanks for the great giveaway

  304. I hate washing pretty much everything off my dishes, but oatmeal has a tendency to explode in my microwave and leave little oatmeal crud all over the outside of the bowl. THAT is a pain to wash off!

    Reply

  313. I have to be the laziest person when it pertains to my dishwasher. I load everything in there, and then I am “shocked” when dishes do not come out cleaned. Then I spend the stupidest amount of time, running hot water, letting the baked on, caked on, soak, it hot water, so I can “attempt” to get the crud off the dishes. Sometimes I don’t even know why I have a dishwasher. But if this soap from Cascade works-they sure had me in mind.

    Reply

  315. Oatmeal that has dried in the bowl is a big pain. Those bowls need to soak for a while to get that off. I also cannot stand if melted cheese is left on a plate. I hate pulling a plate out of the dishwasher and having to scrape cheese off the plate!

    Reply

  316. Dried oatmeal is definitely the worst! A close second is any thin layer of food that baked on the sides of any casserole dish. I too have gotten to the point that I don’t put a casserole dish in without soaking it for a day and scraping everything off. This could be a fun challenge for me to try at home too!

    Reply

  324. I hate meat drippings! gag! All that fat really makes me queasy. I have never tried these but now you have me curious to go get some. Anything that makes a mom’s life easier is all good in my book!

    Reply

  326. I just had to do this the other night…I HATE cleaning baked on lasagna out of my baking dish…especially when it bubbles over the sides! I’ve tried these Cascade packs before and they’re awesome! And we just ran out…coincidence that this contest showed up?…I hope not! LOVE CASCADE! 🙂

  330. I use Cascade but the liquid. I always rinse, husband never does. The worse thing is the food stuck to the silverware. Gross. Interesting concept.

    Reply

  332. My husband and I have had the rinse off/put stuff in debate for almost 28 years now. We’ve had four dishwashers during that time, and we’ve found that you could skip rinsing with a couple of them but not the others. The current one is in the latter group, so I think I need this product!

    I’ll go with cooked on cheese being the worst thing at our house.

    Reply

  338. LASAGNA! I love to make it but I don’t do it often because clean up is such a huge pain. If Cascade Complete really does clean the pan easily, they’ll be making my husband a happy man!

    Reply

  340. I think the worst thing to get clean are the cereal bowls when my kids leave rice krispies or corn flakes in them to dry up. OR the dish that you microwave scrambled eggs in. Very hard to get clean. I actually just learned that you should never clean your dishes before you put them in the dishwasher – the dishwashers today have sensors that tell them how thoroughly to clean your dishes. If you prewash the dishes, the machine doesn’t do as good of a job.

    Right now I’m using the Sunlight OxiAction Power Caps and they’re not cutting it. I’d like to try the Cascade Complete to see how well they work on the dried on, caked on cereal gunk.

  342. I hate to wash off any sort of burned food. Or unrinsed oatmeal bowls. That stuff is like glue!

    Reply

  349. I hate baked on foods that seems to have to soak forever before you can scrub the remaining food off.

    I, too, think you need to rinse off the lose foods before sticking them in the dish washer. And then I also feel like I can just go ahead and completely washing them since I have to do that, so most times I just wash them and don’t bother with the dishwasher. LOL.

    Reply

  351. These are great. I cant believe how well they clean and that you just have to put one in the closed part of your dishwasher. I am hooked on them.
    I hate having to wash anything plastic that has had tomatoe sauce in it. Its hard to lose that red color.

    Reply

  352. I hate baked on crusty stuff that you need to soak and scrub to get off and I also hate that you can’t get off that nonstick spray stuff. I do use Cascade but haven’t tried this one yet and I’m almost done with what I have, I’m definitely going to buy this. If it works like you say it does, it will be awesome.

    Reply

  354. I’ve never used the cascade all in 1 pack before but they sound like a good deal! my family is really good at not rinsing dishes or loading the dishwasher at all. It’s quite normal for me to come home from work and find crusty oatmeal stuck on a bowl. i’d love to not have to scrub that out anymore.

    Reply

  358. I feel the same way, I hate cleaning the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. All the extra water waste, I could have washed them in the sink!
