Cascade Platinum Dishwasher Cleaner, 3 count

I never knew one is supposed to clean the dishwasher since it washes with soap and hot water when in use. I rarely use mine anyway, but I do run it periodically to keep it in working order. My sister requested boxes of this Cascade dishwasher cleaner for Christmas (we're very practical) and she swears by it. She uses her dishwasher almost daily and said it does smell "funky" now and then. I tried this myself and it really cleaned the water marks and some mild rust off the interior door, and geez is smells so good! It has a very pleasant scent. Before it had no smell but now smells clean. I'll use it to keep the machine running well.

My dishwasher had a weird smell so I purchased this to see if it would help, and it did. I ran the machine using one on the cleaning cycle and the dishwasher smelled so much fresher and when I ran a load of dishes, them seemed to look cleaner.

I had a bad smell coming from my dishwasher. This worked really well to clean everything out.

The dishwasher looked and smelled cleaner, although the walls were still stained yellow. We have very hard water, so I guess I couldn't expect too much.

I use a different brand that has a weekly cleaning strength but when subscribe and save time came around it was out of stock so I wanted to try a substitute because if I miss a week, you can tell. :( Now, I already use Cascade tablets so I was a little skeptical if this would do much -- but I was shocked! It's not that the inside of my machine looks dirty, but there is a wet dog smell in the glasses if I don't clean it often enough (and yes, I do clean the filter too.) But, this tablet really cleaned the machine! I haven't used the weekly tabs in 2 weeks and there is still no smell. (For me, an empty rinse agent compartment can also impact a smell, so I keep that filled too. Sharing in case anyone else is trying to get of the smell on glasses.)Update: 2 weeks is about the max I can go with this product before I need to clean it again. But still, that is twice as long as the other brand that I also use. I use them both interchangeably and everyone agrees, there is no smell to the glasses or machine.

Excellent, love the smell

This is the one, folks. After trying countless brands and DIY methods to clean and deodorize our dishwasher, Cascade Platinum finally delivered real results. It left our dishwasher spotless—no grime, no buildup, and best of all, no lingering odors.We noticed the difference after just one use, and it’s been our go-to cleaner ever since. If you’re tired of cleaners that overpromise and underdeliver, give this one a shot. It actually works—plain and simple. Total game-changer.

Did a great job of cleaning my neglected dishwasher! I'll be using it regularly.
