24 Hour Challange

I was recently given a twenty-four hour challenge from Cascade and given the opportunity to try the new Cascade Complete.  I have always had a dishwasher in my home and have always used Cascade liquid gel in my dishwasher.  Before loading the dishwasher, I was always having to pre-wash everything.  Not only does that take time away from what I was doing, but I was racking up the water bill by having to do things this way.  To tell y’all I was excited about trying a product that did not require pre-washing and had a rinse aid action would be one heck of an understatement.  I was through the roof and totally ecstatic– I may have even shared some of the Cascade Complete All-in-1 ActionPacs with a good friend of mine shortly after my first go!

Our challenge was to use the casserole dish sent to us via Cascade and back Blueberry Cobbler, except we are not big fans of baked blueberries in our household.  Therefore, I made something I knew I always had problems with– stuffed shells.  Not only did we get baked on mess from this dinner, but we could always guarantee we would have sauce stains.  We would then have to allow the dirty dish to sit empty for twenty-four hours and place it inside the dishwasher.  Seriously y’all– we have always had problems with red sauces staining our dishes, therefore, we have a dish we dedicated solely to baking saucy dishes.  I was having panic attacks about this beautiful, new casserole dish looking like a disaster after it came out from the dishwasher.  So you can imagine my surprise when I opened the dishwasher to find that Cascade Complete actually worked!  I did not have baked on mess, nor sauce stains all over my white casserole dish.  Dishes are not my favorite thing and getting dirty dishes after their first run?  Not my idea of a good time.  Cascade Complete, thank you for making this mama’s life a little more stress free.. I will be a lifelong customer.
