Always reliable and prefer the powder over the pods
I have used Cascade powder for years and it always provides nice and consistently clean dishes. There is nothing that I abhor more than to happily pluck a glass that I think is clean out of the dishwasher only to find that it has a scummy white powder film on it left over from dishwasher detergent. Such an occurrence really sends my OCD into overdrive and I have to rewash the entire load to be sure that the film has entirely washed away from my dishes. Now, I can't say that this has NEVER happened with Cascade in terms of leaving a gritty film behind, but it has happened a lot less than with some other competing brands that I have tried, so I keep coming back to Cascade simply because it provides a reliably clean result.<br /><br />My other advice is to stick with the Cascade powder. I made the mistake of buying the pods a few times and I would open the dishwasher after it was done cycling and never know if I would find that the entire pod disolved as it should into the water or whether I would find a mangled, half dissolved pod sadly resting at the bottom of my dishwasher, which meant less than clean dishes.<br /><br />I know that there are far more important choices in life than dishwasher detergent but if you buy the Cascade you can sleep at night knowing that your dishes will be wind up coming out of the dishwasher far less gritty than they would be if you used another detergent, and dare I say, they may even be shockingly clean!
