Cascade Complete Powder Dishwasher Detergent, Fresh Scent, 75 oz, White

Cascade is my go-to choice for dishwasher detergent. It always leaves my dishes perfectly clean! I’ve tried several dishwasher detergents over the years — pods, gels, and powders — and Cascade Complete Powder consistently delivers the most reliable clean. What stands out most is its ability to cut through tough, dried-on food without needing to pre-rinse. Even after a full load that includes casserole dishes, coffee mugs, and glassware, everything comes out spotless with no cloudy residue or water spots. The powder dissolves completely, even in shorter or eco cycles, which hasn’t always been my experience with other brands. I appreciate that I can adjust how much I use depending on the load size — a small but important advantage over pre-measured pods. The light, fresh scent is subtle and not overpowering, and the interior of my dishwasher actually looks cleaner after repeated use. A small tip: store the box in a dry cabinet or transfer it to an airtight container to keep the powder from clumping, especially in humid environments. Overall, this detergent strikes the perfect balance between performance and value. It’s dependable, efficient, and leaves dishes sparkling clean every single time. I’ll definitely keep this as my go-to for daily use.

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’ve been using this dishwasher detergent powder for a while now, and overall it’s been really solid. What I like most is the flexibility- you can put in exactly as much (or as little) as you need for a given load, and it’s easy to toss a bit extra on particularly dirty dishes outside of the soap slot if you want a stronger pre-wash. That kind of dosing control is something you don’t get with pre-measured pods. Being a dry powder means it pulls off a couple of practical advantages that liquid detergents don’t: it includes both bleach-type stain-fighting ingredients and the usual detergent components in one formula, so it handles stuck-on food and stains well without having to rely on separate products. Powder detergents like this are known for their powerful cleaning performance and ability to tackle tough residue when measured right. It isn’t perfect, you do have to store it carefully so it doesn’t clump and it’s not as convenient as pods but if you want real cleaning flexibility and strong performance, this powder delivers without much fuss. Also, it is more affordable than pods!

This is the original go-to for a reason. I have tried several different pods and liquids, but I always come back to this powder. It dissolves completely and never leaves that chalky residue on my glassware. It handles stuck-on food easily and leaves everything smelling fresh without being too perfumed. It is a reliable, high-quality detergent that always delivers consistent results.

I am tired of the quality of every dishwasher soap pod and tablet. Finish used to have the best tablets, sold in a tub of 96 for around $15. Apparently, that was not making them enough money so they reduced the count to 80, placed each tablet in an indestructible bag, and raised the price to over $20. It takes forever to get soap in the dishwasher with those horrible little packages and the amount of waste packaging it creates is embarrassing. Cascade is no better with their pods. The gel skins stick to each other so you end up with a nasty mess in a bucket under your sink counter. A wad of useless dish soap that goes in the trash, wasting money. I am done. I am going back to powder dish soap. Powder dish soap is cheap and you get plenty of loads out of a box. I went with Cascade because it used to be the best and they don't seem to have adulterated the soap. It cleans well and leaves my dishes streak free. The smell is ok. I can use as much as I want or need so it is the perfect size. the box fits easily under the sink, takes up way less space than the bulbous tubs for pods. Screw the pods and tablets. Go with the powder. I am so much happier with it.

Dish washer powder soap and i like it as opposed to pods as you can use as much and as little as you need! with pods very expensive because you use 1 in very small loads!

This is undoubtedly the best dishwasher product I have ever used it cleans everything yes it may cost a little more but you definitely get the results

Very happy
