A: The Cascade Platinum is designed to give you the best clean for your dishes while also keeping your dishwasher clean and eliminating the need for a rinse aid. Cascade Complete will still get you a great clean, however we'd recommend using with Cascade Rinse Aid and Dishwasher Cleaner.

Best Overall: Cascade Platinum (The only pods that cleaned even more efficiently are the Cascade Platinum Plus, which we believe can be reserved for tough loads.) With the Cascade Platinum pods we found our dishes to be completely free of food and grime after a load on the normal cycle.

An absolute must-have for any household seeking the pinnacle of dishwashing solutions.

Now I know you guys want my opinion on using dishwasher detergent pods inside your washing machine. And I noticed because I've been tagged in this video over a dozen times in the last 24 hours. So here you go. No, you should never use a detergent pod inside your washing machine.

What happens if I don't use rinse aid? Not using rinse aid decreases the drying performance of your dishwasher. It might also leave water spots on your dishes, especially if you have hard water.
