NEW Cascade Platinum is so tough it even cleans burnt-on food with no pre-wash needed. The Cascade Platinum formula has been reinvented with 33 percent more cleaning ingredients to break down even burnt-on food that others can’t remove, and a new formula delivers Cascade’s best shine ever. With new Cascade Platinum, consumers can skip the pre-wash, and let Cascade Platinum do the dirty work. Cascade Platinum is available at mass merchandise outlets, grocery retailers, home improvement stores and e-retail sites throughout the U.S.
“We understand that habits are hard to break, but Cascade Platinum urges people to skip pre-washing their dishes,” said Kristine Decker, Brand Director, North America and Global Dish Care at Procter & Gamble. “Cascade Platinum was developed with special enzymes that latch on to leftover food particles, breaking them so they can wash away even food that’s been left on up to 24 hours. Cascade Platinum is our best clean for sparkling silverware, dishes and even your dishwasher. We are honored that Cascade Platinum Dishwasher Detergent and Dishwasher Cleaner have been selected as 2018 Product of the Year Award winners by consumers.”
For over thirty years, Product of the Year has guided consumers to the best products on the market across 37 countries, while rewarding manufacturers for quality and innovation. Each year, Product of the Year takes entries from new consumer products launched within the previous year that demonstrate advancement within their industry. Product nominations are placed into categories including beauty, personal care, household essentials, food and beverage, pet care, etc., and are assessed on seven key measures. One product is named the winner of each category, based on the results of the consumer survey.
“In a saturated landscape filled with so many product launches and claims, Product of the Year aims to guide consumers as they seek out the best items on the market. This year, a record number of products entered to compete for the winning spot in their respective categories. With the help of 40,000 consumers nationwide, we are excited to honor these winners,” said Mike Nolan, CEO of Product of the Year. ”Product of the Year’s distinctive red seal of approval continues to help shoppers find the best new products on the shelves and give the winners a well-earned competitive advantage.”
