CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
For too long, consumers have believed that the only way to truly get their dishes immaculately clean is to wash them before they go into the dishwasher and then inspect them and re-wash them once they come out. In doing so, they’ve taken the dishwasher’s job away from it, and made a lot of work for themselves. Similar to a helicopter parent, these Helicopter Cleaners hover and swarm, lacking the confidence their dishwasher can succeed on its own.

To reassure Helicopter Cleaners, Cascade is launching a new and improved Cascade Platinum formula, packing the most concentrated cleaning power in every ActionPac. The new ActionPacs unleash three different cleaning agents to dissolve food, lift it off and rinse it away. With the resulting immaculate clean, Helicopter Cleaners can let go of their time-consuming dishwashing habits.
“The detergent you use in your dishwasher makes a real difference,” said Kristine Decker, Brand Director, North America and Global Dish Care at Procter & Gamble. “With new Cascade Platinum, the dishwasher can perform at its best and consumers can start trusting their dishwashers again, to be dish washer, and stop themselves from being Helicopter Cleaners.”
Cascade partnered with Wendi McLendon-Covey in New York City on April 24 to reinforce how to break the cycle of being a Helicopter Cleaner with the help of some tough love “therapy” sessions. Guests were able to see the actual inside of a dishwasher via “dish cams” to see how Cascade Platinum works to produce sparkling clean dishes—without the hovering.
“As a diagnosed Helicopter Cleaner, I know that the idea of leaving your dishes all alone in the dishwasher can make you a little anxious from time to time,” said McLendon-Covey. “That’s why I want to help other Helicopter Cleaners relax, and let their dishwasher be a dish washer! New Cascade Platinum is the detergent that finally allows you to stop hovering and trust your dishwasher to be just that – a dish washer.”
