NOT allergen free
I’m so angry at the way this is marketed. I admit, I didn’t see it says “lemon scent” right on the front — I bought online for in-store pickup and didn’t scrutinize the photos or product info. I got it home only to realize that the pods are absolutely NOT “free and clear”. They have a very strong fragrance, which will translate into all plastic or rubbery things tasting like perfume! I know not everyone can taste the fragrances and some people don’t care but for the rest of us, I thought that’s what free & clear products were all about: free from allergens, free from overpowering scents. It states right on the packaging that this product contains “fragrance allergens”. That’s not only deceptive marketing but could be unsafe. Beyond disappointed. Also it doesn’t clean as well as regular, so what is the benefit exactly???

Does not cut grease like original
This doesn’t cut grease AT all. Looks like dishes often were not even washed.

Free & Clear of heavy fragrance
These work well and have a hint of lemon scent which is created from essential oil. The product is labeled free and clear of heavy perfumes not fragrence free. People buying online or in the store need to do a better job at reading the package before purchase. The package says Lemon Essence right on the front. SMH

Not fragrance free but a good middle option
The fragrance in the normal cascade pods is overwhelming. I liked that they offered this free and clear option because it still cleans very well. However, it’s not truly free and clear since it has the lemon essence. It should be totally fragrance free

Easy to use and clean like more expensive ones
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These have a lemon smell similar to other dish soaps which is great and it dissolves great when using in the dishwasher I have. It rinses great and even if the dishware is not rinsed before using it leaves the clean and spotless after which was a worry that it may not do. It claims to not have all the extra unnecessary chemicals and that was awesome too. It is cheaper than the other types of this brand but in my opinion does the same job and you get more pacs for you money. So. A win win in my book!!

Scent remains in all my tupperware
My husband bought these thinking they would be fragrance free due to the labeling. I am really sensitive to fragrances. These smell atrocious and embedded its scent into all our plastic and silicone items. I am livid.

We understand how frustrating it can be when a product does not meet your expectations, specially when it comes to fragrance sensitivity. Regarding the scent, It is important to note that Cascade Free and Clear is infused with essential oils, which may contribute to a scent that some users might find strong.

Clear of course
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cascade Free & Clear ActionPacs made my dishes sparkling clean. There was no residual film left over after washing. I have used cascade for years and will continue to do so.

Beware these are not free and clear as advertised. They are scented..
This product is supposed to be free and clear of fumes, etc. I used the liquid version in the past and it was as advertised. Do not buy the pods if you are sensitive to smells. These are definitely scented & triggered my asthma each time I’ve used them. Product is NOT as described.

Very Strong Fragrance
This product works fine as far as powder tablets go, but the smell is overwhelming and will take over all of your silicone items. There is no reason to have such a strong fragrance. We got a new dishwasher and Cascade was recommended by the manufacturer, but sadly I cannot find one product of this brand that I can use. The Everspring dish tabs work just as well and don’t ruin my silicone spatulas.

Hello Muki! I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with the strong fragrance of our Cascade products, especially affecting your silicone items. We appreciate your feedback, and here are a few suggestions to help manage the scent: Check for Porous Items: Some materials, like silicone, can absorb odors. If your silicone spatulas are older or worn, they may retain scents more easily. Hand washing these items might be a better option. Run a Sanitize Cycle: If your dishwasher has a sanitize cycle, running it can help eliminate odors. If not, use the heaviest and hottest cycle available, either empty or with dishes and detergent (we recommend Cascade Platinum). Consider Cascade Free & Clear: If the strong scent is a concern, you might want to try Cascade Free & Clear, which has a lighter fragrance. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope these tips help improve your experience! If you have more questions, please reach out to us at (800) 765-5516.

Does not dissolve, a waste of money The dishes continue dirty after the cleaning cycle since the pod does not dissolve.
1 reply from Cascade team - 3 months ago
Hello! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the Cascade ActionPacs not dissolving! We definitely want to help you get the best performance from our product. Here are some quick tips: - Check the dispenser cup: Make sure it's clear of any obstructions. - Verify sprayer arms: Ensure they can move freely without any blockages. - Water pressure: Run the dishwasher when other water demands are low to ensure enough pressure. - Water temperature: It should be at least 120°F (49°C) for optimal dissolution. If you still have issues after checking those steps, we’d love to help you further please give us a call at (800) 765-5516.

Clean dishes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pods are so convenient and clean well. The easy open top makes for a quick grab and throw in the dishwasher. Small pod has the strength to handle tough grease.
