I didn't realized I picked up the mountain scent pods, it smells strong upon opening and after throwing it in the dishwasher, it left a strong scent and taste on the cleaned dishes. I do not recommend this scent and I will have to double check next time I grab cascade off the shelf.

We're sorry to hear you didn't have the experience you expected, and assure you that we have many quality checks to ensure you get the best from your Cascade. We wouldn't expect it to impart the taste or scent of the product into food. However, if the soap isn't completely rinsed off, or if the dishes have become porous, it is possible. Do not soak porous items; wash immediately and rinse thoroughly. It might help to know that cast iron and plastic items can absorb flavors. To remove the taste/smell, I would recommend to soak the dishes in hot water with some distilled white vinegar added to it. We'd like to help you get the most from your Cascade, so when you have a minute, please get in touch with us at (800) 765-5516.

The Cascade Platinum Plus Action Pacs get my dishes clean but I don't like the fragrance. Several plastic items I put in the dishwasher absorbed the odor. I am tossing a large container because of the fragrance.

We're sorry to hear that you feel this way about the scent. A lot of thought goes into creating features that we think you'll like, though we certainly understand that preferences can vary from person to person. We also have many quality checks in place to ensure that you can get the best possible results with our products. We wouldn't expect Cascade to impart the product 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. It might help to know that cast iron and plastic items can absorb flavors. We hope this information is helpful, and your comments will be shared with our team. We suggest checking out our Cascade Free & Clear, as this product features our lightest scent. So that we can learn more and see how we can best assist further, please give us a call at (800) 765-5516 when you have a moment.

We popped it in our dishwasher but a while later smelled this perfume odor.We searched the kitchen for where it was coming from. I thought my guest had worn heavy perfume.Then we thought we dropped something in the dishwasher.The odor stopped.The next time the dishwasher began my husband said there it is again and I discovered it was the dish cubes.Wow…I love Cascade but not this kind.

Cascade needs to remove Mountain scent from the market

Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
Uniformly2640 - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
I bought this at Target but grabbed the wrong one by mistake. It smells so bad and lingers on EVERYTHING, not just plastics. My ceramic dishes, glassware, and stainless steel utensils reek of this fragrance, and it transfers to your food or water because it is not thoroughly rinsing away. I’m also having a hard time getting the smell out of my dishwasher. I marked one star for ‘Cleans effectively’ because it’s obvious residue is being left behind. The company is replying to people’s reviews saying it only lingers on plastics because they’re porous, but this is just not true; it’s leaving residue behind on everything and it's transferring to your food. i just hope I can eventually get the linger smell out of my dishwasher. i don't know what they did with the Moutain Scent one, but it is absolutely awful.
1 reply from Cascade team - 4 months ago
We wouldn't expect Cascade Platinum Plus ActionPacs with Mountain scent to leave so much of itself behind, and we do apologize for your frustration. While we appreciate you noting that porous dishes can be a part of this problem, a bigger concern is that there’s a possibility the soap isn't getting completely rinsed off. Check that your machine's not having water supply or pressure problems. Also, to ensure the temperature is good to go, run your kitchen sink for a couple of minutes before starting the dishwasher. Cascade Free & Clear has the lightest fragrance, and may be the best option for you. It would be a pleasure to help you further with this. Give us a call any Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 6 PM, EST, for further help. Our phone number is 1 (800) 765-5516.

Mountain Scent is too strong and permeated my dishwasher and anything silicone that was part of the load
1 reply from Cascade team - 5 months ago
We're sorry to hear that this was your experience, Nicholas, as our products go through many quality checks to ensure that you can get the best possible results with them. In normal circumstances, there should be no discernable taste on left on dishes. However, odors can sometimes be absorbed by plastic items whether they’re new or older, but especially if they are well-used and porous in nature. We recommend washing these items by hand. We hope this is helpful, and we'd like to mention that our Cascade Free & Clear features our lightest scent. If you'd further assistance, please give us a call at (800) 765-5516 when you're able.

waterlilly - 6 months ago, Verified purchaser
Also, notice most of the good reviews are part of "paid promotions". I purchased these without reading reviews, because honestly it's dishwasher tablets? I wasn't too concerned about it. It does smell really nice while your machine is running, but scenting my kitchen isn't something I need from a dishwasher. Metals, glass, and ceramics come out just fine. But this will permeate any plastics with a strong fragrance nostalgic of Axe body spray. If you are plastic free home, you probably would get great results with this. But use with caution regarding plastics.
1 reply from Cascade team - 6 months ago
We appreciate you letting us know about this, as we evaluate Cascade to ensure it rinses clean every time and leaves your dishes sparkling clean. If you are experiencing a left over taste on your dishes, there are a few things we would recommend checking. First, if your dishwasher has a filter, we would recommend removing it and cleaning it according to the dishwashers manual. In addition, we would recommend running a sanitizing cycle as this will help remove any lingering food and detergent that has become trapped. It's also important to make sure all of the items are dishwasher safe, and that the sprayer arms are not getting stuck because of a rogue pot handle blocking the arms rotation. Please keep in mind that some items made of cast iron, or dishes that have become porous over time can absorb Cascade causing a lingering taste. Try soaking any of these dishes in hot water with vinegar added to the rinse. Finally, we'd recommend giving Cascade Free & Clear a try as it contains our lightest scent. We want to learn more about what is happening in order to help you further. Please give us a call at (800) 765-5516 when you get the chance. We're available Mondays through Fridays, from 9 AM to 6 PM, EST.

Concerning Odor

Leaves a scent on plastic things. So then you taste it. It leaves an odor and taste in my plastic water bottle cap and tube. My silicone spatulas have the same odor. My plastic cycling water bottles have the same odor. As a chemist and a physician, I am concerned that whatever chemical is left behind can be toxic. At minimum, it changes the taste of the water.

Awful scent lingers on everything

Infrequent Review Writer - 8 months ago
I've been buying Cascade for ages. This most recent purchase smells absolutely horrendous and the scent lingers on dishes and even skin for ages after washing. I cannot overstate how stomach-churning the smell is. The thing it most reminds me of is that cheap body spray middle school boys would douse themselves with after gym class. Now imagine all your food and drinks smelling like that! I rarely write reviews, but this was such a nasty shock after ages of mindlessly re-buying Cascade pods that I felt compelled to take the time.

Horrible smell and taste on dishes

1 out of 5 stars
Ashley1213 - 8 months ago
originally posted on cascadeclean.com
I had no idea what the old potpourri floral smell and taste on my dishes was until tonight when I noticed the label and saw it was a different scent. Finally an answer to the weird smell that has permeated every dish. My entire family has been complaining about it for over a week. It changes the taste of our food and drinks, like you are drinking perfume. We run our relatively new dishwasher on sanitize and it is started with super hot water running at the tap. I cleaned the dishwasher filter this week to make sure something wasn’t stuck in there and even tried running it alone with vinegar. It’s not my dishwasher or my technique. I even tried soaking the dishes in vinegar and hand washing and it won’t get the smell off. It’s messing with my allergies too! I start coughing every time I go into my kitchen. This is the WORST dishwasher scent. I will watch to make sure I do not pick it up going forward.
1 reply from Customer Care team - 8 months ago
We're sorry that you've experienced this, Ashley. Our products go through many quality checks, to ensure that each one meets our high standards. All our ingredients, including our perfumes, are thoroughly tested to ensure that they are safe to use. However, a scent or taste being left behind is not typical, and we have some tips that may help. Removing the filter and cleaning it, is something we would recommend, and we're sorry this didn't help resolve the issue. Also, be sure to check that sprayer arms are not clogged to ensure proper rinsing. 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. This can cause the scent of the detergent to be more easily absorbed into the surface, and these items should be washed by hand. For all other items which are dishwasher safe, a scent should not remain on the item if they are rinsed properly, whether by hand or in the dishwasher. Because you mentioned that the lingering fragrance has caused you to start coughing when in your kitchen, we recommend that you discontinue using the product. It may help to know that our Cascade Platinum is more strongly scented, and we recommend instead trying our Cascade Free & Clear. Your satisfaction is very important to us, and we'd like to gather more details of your experience to further assist you with this matter. Please give us a call at 1-800-765-5516 from 9AM – 6PM EST Monday – Friday.

Flynn808 - 9 months ago, Verified purchaser
The mountain scent sticks to plastic, leaches that smell into your food, and WILL NOT come out. I’ve been using different detergent for 3 weeks and my dishwasher still smells. I’ve washed and soaked all my plastic utensils and containers in vinegar twice and baking soda twice. I’ve run the dishwasher with vinegar twice and baking soda twice. The only good thing that’s come out of this is that figured out where the dishwasher filter is and cleaned that out (it needed it…but it didn’t help with the smell.) I gave up and ordered new spatulas and containers. I don’t know who asked for smelly dishes or how it’s still on shelves since these reviews look like I’m not the only one with this problem.

Flynn, we're so very sorry to hear about this. With our quality checks and when using our Cascade Platinum Plus Action Pacs as directed, we wouldn't expect this. If you have not done so already, run the sanitize cycle. If the dishwasher doesn't have a sanitize cycle, run the dishwasher on the heaviest & hottest cycle and see if this helps. This isn't something we take lightly, so we'd love to hear from you about this. Please call us at (800) 765-5516.

We're so sorry to learn you're planning on returning your Cascade Platinum Plus ActionPacs, as we only want the best for you. Thanks o much for letting us know about this, as we evaluate Cascade to ensure it rinses clean every time and leaves your dishes sparkling clean.
