Q: How many loads do the 120oz bottle Do?

submitted by Edna - 1 year ago
  • A: The average dishwasher detergent compartment is about 2-3tbsp or 1.5 oz. Going by that you should get about 100 or so loads out of this bottle. Maybe a little more or less depending on how much you actually use. 👍

    submitted bySpartaJack - 9 months ago
  • A: Cascade gels don't include the number of loads on the bottle because the amount of detergent dosed per load can vary from one person to the next as well as different dishwasher brands and models.

    submitted byMlb - 11 months ago

Q: What is the RECOMMENDED amount to use?

submitted by dowhatyoulove - 6 months ago
  • A: It depends on your dishwasher. Pour the gel directly into the dishwasher’s dispenser (check the dishwasher’s instructions for details how to use the dispenser). If your dishwasher has 2 dispensing cups, fill both. If you live in an area with very soft water, fill the dispenser halfway. If your dishwasher has 2 dispensing cups, fill both half full.

Q: Is this 120 fluid ounces or 120 weight ounces? I ask because the bottle pictured shows 3.4 KG / 120 OZ / 7.5 LB. KG and LB are weights, and 120 OZ is consistent with the weights 3.4 KG and 7.5 LB.

submitted by egburr - 1 year ago
  • A: The Cascade gel is 120 fluid ounces.

I have been using Cascade Complete Fresh Scent because I can’t find the Cascade original in my area. This stuff hasn’t been getting the insides of the coffee cups clean. The scent is overwhelming! It’s terrible! Any plastics that are in the dishwasher reek of the detergent smell. I switched from the liquid to the action packs thinking maybe they wouldn’t smell so strongly, even though it’s significantly more expensive. The smell is just as strong. I will find something else to switch to and might just toss your products.

Our team is always researching, and taking in feedback to help us design our Cascade products in ways that we believe everyone will love as much as we do. We apprecaite you sharing that the scent was too strong, and lingers on your dishes. The best way to remove the scent is to run a cycle, and adding distilled vinegar on the liquid compartment.

Daisy - 30 days ago, Verified purchaser
Leaves a lasting soap smell/taste on all dishes, even glass. I couldn’t put my silicone dishes through the dishwasher with this soap. I will never buy it again
1 reply from Cascade team - 29 days ago
We're sorry to hear that your Cascade Complete leaves an unwanted smell/taste on your dishes, Daisy! Our products go through extensive quality testing to ensure they work effectively, and we do a lot of research when we design our scents to make sure we're meeting the needs and preferences of our consumers, so please know that this isn't the experience we want you to have, and we're really grateful for your feedback. To remove the scent from your dishes, soak them in hot water with some distilled white vinegar added to it, or if the dishes are dishwasher safe, run them through the dishwasher. If you choose to wash the dishes in the dishwasher, pour some vinegar into the bottom of the dishwasher along with some vinegar directly into the dispenser. You can also put a cup of vinegar upright on the top rack of the dishwasher, so that it gets knocked over and distributed during the wash. It may take a couple of cycles, but the smell will come out. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we'd love to help you find the right product for you and assist further with this. Please give us a call at (800) 765-5516, any time from 9:00AM-6:00PM EST Monday-Friday, so we can help!

Spots on dishes

The smell has a chemical fragrance and the spotting is bad. I won’t buy this again.
1 reply from Cascade team - 1 month ago
Sam, we're sorry to hear you're unhappy with the scent of Cascade, and that spots were left behind. Unfortunately, hard water can be a nuisance. When we design our products, we do extensive research and consumer testing to create features that we think you will love. It can fight against the detergent to allow minerals and food particles to settle back on dishes, which results in a film. It can help to try Cascade Platinum, which is designed to fight spots & film. It's packed with ingredients to help prevent hard water from remaining on your dishes. We also recommend you ensure the water in your dishwasher is at least 120F/49C. It may help to run hot water from your kitchen sink hot for a few moments before starting the dishwasher. So we can help further, please call us at (800) 765-5516.

It cleans well enough, but this formula is waaaay too strong with the fragrances. I could stand how strong it was when opening the dishwasher, but when using whatever is cleaned there's a lingering taste of said fragrance. Needing to switch to something else because of it.

We certainly wouldn't expect the scent to remain on your dishwasher safe items, Raven, so we're sorry to hear this has been your experience. In order to learn more to share with our Quality Team, and to provide some troubleshooting tips, please give us a call at (800) 765-5516.

1 reply from Customer Care team - 3 months ago
Thanks for taking the time to share your recent Cascade Complete experience with us, and we'll be sharing your feedback about the level of fragrance with our team. We wouldn't expect the scent to linger on your dishes, and our products go through lots of quality testing to try to ensure your satisfaction. We're here to help and would like to share that if your dishwasher has a filter, we suggest removing it and cleaning it according to the manufacturer's instructions, and then running on a sanitize cycle. Additionally, some materials, such as cast iron and plastic, can absorb odors. If certain items always pick up an odor, they could be old or worn to the point of being porous, and we'd recommend washing by hand. We'd like to learn more about your experience, and tell you more about Cascade Free & Clear. Please give us a call at (800) 765-5516.

Another perfectly fine product ruined

PC - 5 months ago
Congratulations, Cascade and P&G for ruining another perfectly fine product. The old lemon Cascade Original was effective and the smell was not overbearing. It did not leave residue or scent or taste on dishes. Since it was replaced with this Complete formula - and following the directions on the bottle and my dishwasher to the letter - I continually have a residue on my dishes. It leaves a horrible lingering scent in the dishwasher. Even worse, the overbearing scent can be tasted in food. I guess it makes sense - they ruined Dawn in the same way. As for cleaning - it is no better or worse than anything else. I guess I'm off P&G products for good, then.

Leaves yucky taste on dishes. I preferred the Target brand dishwasher soap that was cheaper and didnt leave the icky taste on the fishes, but unfortunately Target discontinued it.
1 reply from Cascade team - 5 months ago
We're sorry to hear this, as we have many quality checks in place to ensure that you can use Cascade with ease, and we wouldn't expect the product to impart a scent/taste into your dishes. However, if the soap isn't completely rinsed off, or if the dishes have become porous, it's possible. If certain items always pick up a flavor, they're probably worn to the point of being porous and should be washed by hand. We hope this is helpful, and your comments will be shared with our team. If you haven't already, we suggest trying out our Cascade Free & Clear, as it features our lightest scent. Please give us a call at (800) 765-5516 if you'd like any further assistance.

Spotting needs to be addressed

3 out of 5 stars
fusionwoods - 6 months ago
originally posted on cascadeclean.com

I’m a dishwasher technician and maintenance specialist so it’s safe to say I use my machine correctly everytime, all my wash arms are always free of any blockages & my dishwasher is cleaned once a month and is probably the most sanitary dishwasher in the world with how clean I keep it. I’ve been using this gel on and off for many many years and it seems to struggle in different water types. It leaves a ton of spots behind on dishes, and before you say “oh try our cascade rinse aid” I’m already using it and my dispenser stays full at all times. I switched to powder, and the spotting immediately stopped when using powder detergent and keeping my rinse aid dispenser set to the medium setting. If you have hard water or moderately soft water don’t use this, use powder or pacs. This gel will clean fine, but doesn’t have enough anti spotting agents in it. You need to correct this cascade. This has been going on for too long and it’s been one of our favorite gels and it’s time that this gets addressed, it should be able to sorkin all water types and there’s no way you guys don’t know this in the lab unless your not testing it in multiple different water types. Also, your platinum pacs cause immense oversudsing in softer water, that needs to be addressed as that’s been ongoing ever since you released them in the 2000s. It’s 2025, why is it so difficult for you guys to correct these things people have been complaining about for years?
