Dishwasher Detergent Showdown: Cascade Complete versus Electrasol
By Stephanie | July 13, 2008
A PR company recently queried me and asked if I would be willing to try out two different dishwasher detergents that are out on the market. I said “yes.”
Cascade Complete and Electrasol arrived at my door. I actually have tried both products in the past, but have never “compared” them side-by-side.
Cascade Complete promises to “take care of every step of the wash process so you don’t have to. That means there’s no need to prewash most dishes...” I found this claim to be true. We just scraped off large chunks of food and didn’t worry about the rest…and the dishes really did come clean.
Finish – formerly Electrasol – promises to “give you deep cleaning power plus SHINE BOOST® to gently remove tough food stains.” We tried the “scrape off big chunks and insert dishes” method with this detergent…and it didn’t work. There were little bits and pieces of food still stuck on the dishes as we pulled them out. I know that Electrasol doesn’t claim to cut out the pre-washing step, but I’m all about saving time so I appreciate having to do one less step.
In sum, Cascade Complete wins hands-down. It is powerful and does what it says it will do. That said, I would like it more if they toned down the heavy bleach scent and if they offered more information about how they are working to make the environment (and our home environments) healthier places…
Want to try both products out for yourself? Enter to win by leaving a comment…
WIN IT! One winner will receive one bottle of Cascade Complete and one bottle of Electrasol. To enter, leave a comment on this post prior to Sunday, July 20 at midnight (don’t forget to follow the rules). * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.
*UPDATE* The winner is #267 Sarah Stern. Congratulations!

This is too funny, I have under my sink right now one bottle of Cascade complete and one box of Electrasol tablets. What can I say, I must have been reading your mind!!! I’d love to get more though…
July 13th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
I love product trials and comparisons … I currently use Electrosol tablets, but would love to try Cascade ….
July 13th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
I have always wondered which one works better…I currently use the Electrasol tablets.
July 13th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
I’m needing liquid dish detergent and all I’ve got right now is power or gelpacs. I’ve got the dishwasher where you can empty an entire bottle into the “door” and it uses it as needed.
July 13th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
I’ve been using gelpaks lately in my new dishwasher. I’m still trying to figure out which works the best!
July 13th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
You could never have too much of this prize!
July 13th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
i use gelpacs almost exclusively
July 13th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
I just got my dishwasher, and I’ve only ever used Cascade…I’d like to try Electrasol, though.
July 13th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
I’d love to try this.
July 13th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
I like clean dishes! :0)
Thank you for the great giveaway!

July 13th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
Save me a trip to the grocery store.
July 13th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
this would be great to win!
July 13th, 2008 at 5:39 pm
I use both Cascade and Finish products, depending on what I have a coupon for. (I have both in my cabinet right now.) Hadn’t really noticed a difference in their performance– interesting that you actually had a clear winner.
July 13th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
I love this product.
July 13th, 2008 at 5:53 pm
Cascade is a very good product! I’d love to win this!
July 13th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
I have always used Cascade would love to compare the two.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
We use Cascade Complete and love it. Would like to try Electrasol.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
I have never tried either of these products.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
I’ve been using gelpaks lately in my new dishwasher
July 13th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
I keep trying different brands hoping for good results and would really love to try this, thank you for the contest
July 13th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
I would love to try this , currently I am using Electrasol Gel paks
July 13th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
My wife loves these products. BUT due to our limited budget can not afford to buy them when we always need them
Thanks for all the great contests@!
July 13th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
I would love to try each product!
July 13th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
I would enjoy to do a comparison. I love to play scientist. Thank you.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
I love electrasol

Hurry. I’m almost out of Cascade.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Enter me too. I would love to try both to see how they work.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
Great contest. Thank you!
July 13th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
I’m all about cutting corners as long as the end result is acceptable. I’m not using either product but would be willing to switch brands if it works.
gkstratos@ yahoo.com
July 13th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
This would be a big help. Thanks!
July 13th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Thanks for the contest
July 13th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
I’ve always used Cascade & have never tried Electrasol. Would love to win.
July 13th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
FREE is good! Have been using Electrasol satisfactorily. Comparisons are always good promo if you have a good product. Would be happy to try both.
July 13th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
I could always use more of this!
July 13th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
I have been using Electrasol since we moved into the house. I would love to try Cascade and compare the two.
July 13th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
I’ve tried all the different kinds at one time or another. I like liquid/gel better than powder, no matter what brand!
July 13th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
I use the Electrasol Gel paks too. Honestly though, nothing beat hand washing. Then again, the dishwasher saves me time.
July 13th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
I’m always up for a challenge. I’ve heard the powder is better than liquid, but I never concluded one way or another on that one!
July 13th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
I have switched back and forth between these two brands and I’m happy with both so, ultimately, my choice on shopping day is determined by price.
July 13th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Free cleaning products! I would love to win! Helps the checkbook~
July 13th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
I don’t even know what is under my cabinet. My honey just bought a huge container of gel tabs and that was that. But I need something that makes my silverware sparkle! It looks dull… Anyways, would love to win, as everyone would!
Thanks!
July 13th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
Who couldn’t use this!!! Great contest…thank you.
July 13th, 2008 at 9:20 pm
I’ve usually used the cheaper brands, but would like to see if there is a difference.
July 13th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
I currently use Electrasol tabs and I’d love to do a comparison and try out both versions! Great giveaway! Thanks for offering it!

Thanks for the great contest. Thanks for saving someone a couple of bucks!
July 13th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
I”d love to try out the two — we usually use Sunlight or Great Value at my house because it is cheaper – it would be nice to use some of the “good” stuff =)
July 13th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
I’d sure like to try em.
July 13th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
I use Electrasol tablets and I have to prescrape the dishes.
I haven’t tried Cascade Complete but I would like to.
July 13th, 2008 at 11:04 pm
Those are the exact 2 products I use for my dishwasher. So yeah, I could always use some free ones. 2 less things to get the next time I go shopping. Thanks so much for the opportunity.
July 13th, 2008 at 11:41 pm
I use cascade and I love it
July 14th, 2008 at 12:05 am
cascading
July 14th, 2008 at 12:56 am
I love my dishwasher and I’d love this prize
July 14th, 2008 at 1:45 am
Hubby changed from sunlight to Cascade complete. I’d like to see which one works best from these 2
July 14th, 2008 at 1:51 am
i love cascade complete:)
July 14th, 2008 at 1:57 am
Cascade is the best…have tried many…really want to win…this is one I would use before it hit the table to open up the package!
THANKS SO MUCH again for awesome sweep!
July 14th, 2008 at 2:47 am
pick me!
July 14th, 2008 at 2:50 am
My all time favorite brand for dishwashing soap is Cascade. In my area, Electrasol is often cheaper but if I get a coupon I go for Cascade. I have to be honest I don’t think I have ever noticed a difference in the dishes from one brand to another. I would love to win either one.
July 14th, 2008 at 3:05 am
I use both products all the time
July 14th, 2008 at 3:16 am
This is a fun idea. I’m also curious to test liquid vs. powder. Thanks for a great contest!
July 14th, 2008 at 3:44 am
i love the electrasol tablets
July 14th, 2008 at 3:44 am
I’ve used both and have not noticed a big difference. I usually buy the cheaper one, which is usually Electrasol. Thanks for the chance to win.
July 14th, 2008 at 3:51 am
Cascade Complete for me.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:08 am
COOL
July 14th, 2008 at 4:09 am
I use both products and like them both.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:46 am
I sure could use this prize. We go through a lot of dishes every day.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:15 am
My husband would like this he does all the dishes at our house
July 14th, 2008 at 5:23 am
I would love to do a comparison. I currently use the the tablets.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:24 am
My husband also says Cascade is better.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:30 am
I have been using a giant bucket of dishwasher powder that I bought by mistake-thinking it was laundry soap-it actually works pretty good! I would love to do a comparison of these two products.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:50 am
I have used both of these products and would love to win!
July 14th, 2008 at 5:51 am
very useful thanks
July 14th, 2008 at 5:53 am
Thank you for this giveaway. Would love to win!
July 14th, 2008 at 6:07 am
I use Eletrosol products all of the time. I love them! And they are reasonably priced.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:08 am
I like them both!!
July 14th, 2008 at 6:15 am
I use Cascade all the time – it’s great. I would love to win another bottle.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:25 am
I usually buy the Kirkland/Costco stuff, I would love trying either one of these.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:28 am
We are definitely Cascade people. However, I would gladly do a comparison! Anything helps in this day and time.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:34 am
i like these products a lot.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:45 am
Always use either Cascade, but would be glad to compare to Electrosol.

I would love to try both products. I’m always looking to get my dishes cleaner in the dishwasher
*Thanks* for the giveaway!
July 14th, 2008 at 7:36 am
I can’t say that I’ve ever tried Electrosol. I just buy Cascade because I know it works. Seems to cost more, but my dishes are clean.
July 14th, 2008 at 7:49 am
I love Electrosol, When my dishwasher is going it releases a lovely aroma all through my kitchen. My dishes are shiny.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:07 am
I love my dishwasher! I love the way it makes the house smell clean as well. Thanks for the opportunity.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:14 am
Would like to try this.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:20 am
I could use this prize
July 14th, 2008 at 8:26 am
I got new disher I could use this
July 14th, 2008 at 8:32 am
I would love to compare them. Great contest.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:47 am
I use Cascade and would like to try electrasol.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:49 am
Great prize!
July 14th, 2008 at 8:55 am
Great Giveaway! I love Cascade…it does a great job on my dishes!
July 14th, 2008 at 9:08 am
I use Electrasol tablets right now, but I’d like to try the Cascade!
July 14th, 2008 at 9:15 am
Great, I can use these
July 14th, 2008 at 9:18 am
I want to try Cascade after I read that it was recommended by a consumer magazine
July 14th, 2008 at 9:19 am
Just so happens I ran out of Cascade this weekend. Would love to win.
July 14th, 2008 at 9:29 am
This would be a nice opportunity to really compare the two products. Thanks for the contest.
July 14th, 2008 at 9:32 am
I use these products so it would be great to win them!
July 14th, 2008 at 9:40 am
Who couldn’t use this? Thanks so much.
July 14th, 2008 at 9:51 am
With my highly mineralized hard well water, I have found that the electrasol powder worked best. No undisolved cleaners left after the cycle. So I’ve been using it for years. I’m willing to try others and change if I do find another working better. Thanks!
July 14th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Love this stuff
July 14th, 2008 at 10:18 am
Oh gosh, this is something we can all use!
July 14th, 2008 at 10:32 am
I havent tried this, but would love to! I hate the white residue on my dishes after washing. YUCK!
July 14th, 2008 at 10:44 am
I always compare things, but never tried this. Please enter me & thanks!
July 14th, 2008 at 10:57 am
I can always use dishwasher detergent.
July 14th, 2008 at 11:01 am
would love to try them both!
July 14th, 2008 at 11:03 am
I’ve been using normal cascade forever, but cascade complete sounds great. Actually, they both do
July 14th, 2008 at 11:22 am
I would like to try this. I can always use cleaning products. Thank you
July 14th, 2008 at 11:29 am
something I can use. lol to all
July 14th, 2008 at 11:49 am
i use the liquid but always liked the powder also
July 14th, 2008 at 11:51 am
I love comparing products, I have used all different kinds, but with the amount of dishes we accumulate in my household, it would be great to really see how they do.
I usually love the drop ins, that way I don’t have to worry about an over zealous kid and the detergent! (Or Issa putting her hands in there and eating some when someone turns their back.)
July 14th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
That’s awesome to see them compared side by side, and I like how you asked them if they were moving in a more environmental direction. I am not liking the more eco-soap Im using right now. Wish u didnt have to pick between cleaner rivers and cleaner dishes.
July 14th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
be nice to compare
July 14th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
love the idea of comparing them
July 14th, 2008 at 12:25 pm

July 14th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Honestly I ‘ve used both because I’ve never really been brand loyal. I buy what’s on sale and if it works then I will buy it again. I’ve never had a showdown between the two but that would be interesting.
July 14th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
I have allways used cascade and love it.
July 14th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
great products–I use them both!
July 14th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
I love this! I always forget to buy electrasol!
July 14th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
LOL It’s like you were there last week when I stood in the aisle comparing Cascade and Electrasol! I never know which to buy! Thanks.
July 14th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
A detergent showdown sounds like a blast. I’d love to have one at my house!
July 14th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
could always use some more. cascade is my fave
July 14th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
great stuff
July 14th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
I use them both but have never compared them head to head.
July 14th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
I’ll take it.
July 14th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
I’m a huge fan of Cascade Complete but I can’t always afford it…would love to get a box and do a comparison with Electrasol. DH would love it too, as there is the possibility that more dishes would actually get washed by ME.
July 14th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
I like both but have found Electrasol to be a better value. I prefer the powder or tablets because their is always liquid you can never squeeze out of the bottle!
July 14th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
I usually use the liquid – but if I won this I would be able to try the powder/tablets to see how they work
July 14th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
Usually use the liquid and love Cascade! thanks for the giveaway!
July 14th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Love the product
July 14th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
I use both of these.. depending on which one i have a coupon for!
July 14th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
Cascade (in liquid form) is the ONLY dishwashing detergent I use and I would love to do a comparison check!
BTW, if I ever win anything from this site, I would be happy to come back and post my thoughts about the product.
July 14th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
would love to win!
July 14th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
Have used both, love them. Always need a supply to save on trips to the grocery store.

July 14th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Great prize. I use Electrosal
already and would enjoy trying the Cascade.
July 14th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
just got new dish washer.
July 14th, 2008 at 7:03 pm

I’d like to compare the two products
July 14th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
i would love to try this
July 14th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
I have also tried both but not compared them side to side. Thanks for the opportunity.
July 14th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
It seems we’re always running out of dishwasher soap and I usually buy the store brand which doesn’t work very well at all.
July 15th, 2008 at 1:51 am
Thanks.
July 15th, 2008 at 5:13 am
We like the Electrosol tabs, but with today’s economy if is is free, it is awesome.
July 15th, 2008 at 5:39 am
wow
July 15th, 2008 at 6:21 am
I’ve been using gelpaks lately in my new dishwasher.
July 15th, 2008 at 6:37 am
This would be a great gift for my idiot neighbor upstairs who keeps putting dish liquid into his dish washer. Doesn’t mama teach her boys about these things anymore?
July 15th, 2008 at 6:59 am
I’ve used both but never compared them. It was interesting to read your results.
July 15th, 2008 at 7:09 am
With all the people in the house, we go through alot of dishwasher detergent.
July 15th, 2008 at 7:33 am
I used Electrasol because I was told it cuts down on the cloudy spots that occurs on glasses over time. However, I have the same problem as you. If I don’t completely rinse dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, I’m risking having to wash them all over again. What to do, what to do???
July 15th, 2008 at 7:52 am
Thank you so much for the chance. We are aways running our dishwasher.
July 15th, 2008 at 8:04 am
I find even though I prewash my dishes, I still have to run some of them twice through the dishwasher!
July 15th, 2008 at 8:21 am
Have used both and definitely count me in.
Thanks. Cascade I use more often.
July 15th, 2008 at 8:56 am
I would definitely use them both.
July 15th, 2008 at 9:17 am
not sure i ever used gelpacks. i have electrasol powder tho..good sale was one
..but love cascade!
July 15th, 2008 at 9:27 am
please enter me !
July 15th, 2008 at 9:42 am
Who wouldn’t want to win this? Really, we need this.. actually NO my mom needs this. They use their dishwasher 4 times a day at least because there are so many people in the family. I’d be generous and give this to her.
July 15th, 2008 at 9:57 am
These are great products and I would love to use them.
July 15th, 2008 at 10:20 am
THis would be perfect, thanks.
July 15th, 2008 at 11:22 am
I love Cascade, but would love to try Electrasol.
July 15th, 2008 at 11:53 am
any help to my budget helps
July 15th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
Perfect prize for clean dishes
July 15th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
I have tried several different dishwashing detergents, yet I have never had one work as well as I would like. I have tried Cascade, and it does a pretty good job, but I haven’t tried the Electrosol.
July 15th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
I could use this. 4 kids use a lot of dishes.
July 15th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
I would love this. I like perfectly clean dishes and end up rewashing many times.
July 15th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
I have always used Cascade and would like to try Electrosol.
July 15th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
We use both Cascade and electrasol in our house, but we always have to scrpe the dishes – you have to when the dishwasher is 15 years old.
Thanks for the giveaway!
July 15th, 2008 at 7:04 pm
We like Cascade Complete.
July 15th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
I always wanted to stock up on these items. Plus, I love trying new items to see if they work better in my home.
July 15th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
We use Cascade at our house but every so often we switch brands. Just depends on what mood our dishwashers in. lol.
I haven’t tried Electrasol in liquid form yet. The capsules worked ok for us though ^-^
July 15th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
I’ve used Cascade my entire life, would like to try a competitor
July 15th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
I think I saw the mold on the dishes in my sink move today. Please save me
July 15th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
I use the cascade gelpacks theyre great….. i think the elctrolsol is a lot cheaper tho
July 15th, 2008 at 11:20 pm
I could always use this!!!! I’d love to win it!
July 16th, 2008 at 7:55 am
this is a great prize i could use, thanks!
July 16th, 2008 at 9:38 am
Absolutely love Cascade complete. It definitely works as promised…no pre-washing needed…ever. Cleans everything sparkling clean.
July 16th, 2008 at 10:48 am
Anything to help me save money! Thanks!
July 16th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
I just got my first dishwasher! Let me try em!
July 16th, 2008 at 1:24 pm
Wow, I’ve been an Electrasol fan for years, but after hearing your comparison I may have to try the Cascade. Would love to win.
July 16th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
I find Cascade the best for overall cleaning
July 16th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
Just bought my first house and I have my first dishwasher!! I always use Cascade!! Would love to win!!
July 16th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
The dishwasher I have now is the best one ever. I use Cascade but would love to see if Electrasol can do as much. I’ve never tried it.
July 16th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
Very interesting! I currently use whatever is the cheapest with whatever coupon or sale is going on that week… I would love to compare them side by side, but have so little extra cash to use even on the basics that this actually sounds like a fun challenge! Thank you for having this interesting and thought provoking contest
July 16th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
I love competition and what a better way to find out which one is the best.
July 16th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
With money so tight in our household, I usually just buy what’s on sale, but when I think about it, there are some big differences in the way they work. I would love to try them out! Thanks
July 16th, 2008 at 8:58 pm
I love electrasol. This would be great.
July 17th, 2008 at 1:15 am
I’ve always used Cascade & have never tried Electrasol, would love the opportunity to compare the two products
July 17th, 2008 at 6:01 am
It would be wonderful to win
July 17th, 2008 at 8:21 am
I have used both in the past — currently I am using sunlight packs – which are hit and miss – sometimes it cleans great, other times I have to wash my dishes again
July 17th, 2008 at 9:16 am
I’m a cascade girl myself and have never used any other brand so I would certainly be willing to try electrasol to find out which I prefer.
July 17th, 2008 at 11:09 am
I would like to try both products
July 17th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
I love Cascade complete. I have never tried the liquid version of Electrasol.
July 17th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
I’d be interested in comparing both products. We seem to try whatever’s on sale.
July 17th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
I use this all the time.
July 17th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
I’ve tried both of these products and both are very good.
July 17th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
I’ve never used either but would gladly tell you which I liked best.
July 17th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Great Prize
July 17th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
I really enjoy using Electrosol, but I also use Cascade and Palmolive.
July 17th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
I usually buy whats on sale, but I was out of town and husband bought some off brand, and now I noticed stains on my plastic cups. Maybe if I win I can test and finally decide on a good brand to use, as I hate buying products that are expensive and don’t really work. Thank you for a chance to win something I haven’t tried yet.
July 17th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
I just bought more dishwasher detergent, but you can never have too much in my house!
July 18th, 2008 at 4:24 am
I actually just added dishwasher detergent to my hubby’s grocery list this morning! What a useful giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity!
July 18th, 2008 at 6:43 am
I go between both depending on what is on sale and if there is a coupon. It wound be nice to win some more. Thanks
July 18th, 2008 at 7:24 am
Let the showdown begin!
July 18th, 2008 at 9:35 am
would love to win this – thanks for offering it!!
July 18th, 2008 at 10:19 am
This is a prize I can always use – the best kind!
July 18th, 2008 at 10:31 am
I use this stuff! Both work great!!!
July 18th, 2008 at 11:53 am
Electrosol puts out THE best coupons I use it all the time. Works great.
July 18th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Hope I win!
July 18th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
I use electasol but I would love to see which one is best for my dishwasher
July 18th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
i would love to win this
July 18th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
Wow…I’ve used cascade of course – but Cascade complete!?! Okay…I’m interested!! LOL
July 18th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
gotta do the dishes
July 18th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
Cascade is my favorite!!
July 18th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
Both do an awesome job.
July 18th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Thank you for the great giveaway! This would save me some precious dollars on my next trip to the grocery store. Also, I have never tried the Electrasol.
July 18th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
great contest
July 18th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
I have always used Cascade so far.

July 18th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
A product challenge, that sounds fun! It will be interesting to see the difference. Thanks for the chance.
July 18th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
Very useful prize! Thanks for the giveaway!
July 18th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
i’d love to win. i’ve never tried elecrasol so i’d like to test it out.
July 18th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
I use Cascade and electrasol when I remember to get it. Would love to win. Thanks for the contest.
July 18th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
Terrific

July 18th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Please enter me in the contest. It’s time to replace my dishwasher gel, which is not dissolving during the cycle, and is creating a mess all over my silverware and some of my dishes.
July 18th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
I currently use Electrasol with the Powerball in the center. I would like to see if Cascade does a better job too.
July 18th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Cascade works great!
July 18th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
I would love to win this
July 18th, 2008 at 10:21 pm
I’d love to try these myself. My dishwasher does a good job but you still need to use a good product in it. The manufacturer recommended Cascade.
July 18th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
Cascade is the best.
July 19th, 2008 at 1:20 am
…I usually buy the store brand, the name brands when I have coupons.
July 19th, 2008 at 4:39 am
Cascade for us…
July 19th, 2008 at 5:09 am
I use both!! Depending what’s on sale and what I have a coupon for.
July 19th, 2008 at 5:58 am
I usually buy Electrasol.
July 19th, 2008 at 6:12 am
I would love to try both and see which works better in my dishwasher!
July 19th, 2008 at 7:09 am
I love the idea of doing a comparison
July 19th, 2008 at 7:45 am
We currently use the tablet form of Electrasol and Cascade (we get whatever happens to be on sale at the time of need) but would love to give these a try to see what works better – the tablets or the liquid.
July 19th, 2008 at 8:23 am
I’d really like to do a comparison
July 19th, 2008 at 8:57 am
I don’t use either of these products right now, so I’m curious as to which is better. I’ll probably compare them to my current product too!
July 19th, 2008 at 10:20 am
I use Electrasol in my dishwasher and love it.
July 19th, 2008 at 10:25 am
Cascade is great to soak dingy whites before washing
July 19th, 2008 at 10:38 am
This is very much needed–thanks for the giveaway!
July 19th, 2008 at 10:38 am
I’d love to try them both out! Right now I’m using Electrasol with the power ball thinger… it’s ok, but I’m not really thrilled with it–it leaves a lot of white residue. We have a new dishwasher and we’re still in the process of determining what works best.
July 19th, 2008 at 11:25 am
Have always used Cascade and will always need it.
July 19th, 2008 at 11:48 am
I agree about the bleach scent! I’d like to try the Electrasol
July 19th, 2008 at 11:58 am
I curently use liquid cascade. Would love to compare and contrast.
July 19th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
I would love to try both!
July 19th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Would love to try both of these!!
July 19th, 2008 at 1:01 pm
always used Cascade
July 19th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
Sweet niblets!
July 19th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Cascade is great we love those little tabs they have now
July 19th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Thanks for a great giveaway
July 19th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
That’s a unique and interesting giveaway!
July 19th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
I would love to do a comparison! Our current detergent is leaving spots on the glasses, yuck!
marci6tx(at)msn(dot)com
July 19th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Now this is a product that I can honestly say has been used in our family for many years. It is the best product on the market today as far as dishwashers liquid is concerned.
July 19th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Thanks for the gift.
July 19th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
I love Cascade but would enjoy doing a test myself using both products!
July 19th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
This would keep me set up for awhile!
July 19th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
What a great prize, I just got a new dishwasher after having a glorified drying rack with a door for over 5 years and need this.
July 19th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
I’ve used both. I love the convenience of the tablets, but I wonder how environmentally friendly they are. Actually, I wonder that about all dishwashing detergents.
Anyway, if I won this I would be donating to a local women’s shelter. With the rise in food prices, they’ve been having trouble paying for enough cleaning products and toiletries.
July 19th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
I’ve always been a Cascade user…but definitely willing to try something new…this is the perfect opportunity! I hope I win…got my fingers crossed!
July 19th, 2008 at 7:58 pm
Cascade is the best of the best
July 19th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
yes i want to be enter
July 19th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
i use the tablets now, but I’d love the gels to keep on hand for smaller loads.
July 19th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
Two great products!
July 19th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
I love Cascade complete. It is all I will use.
July 19th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
Great!
July 19th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
iuse bioklein but free is better
July 20th, 2008 at 12:03 am
My dishes are dirty!!
July 20th, 2008 at 12:26 am
I would love to add this to my cleaning supply stock:-)
July 20th, 2008 at 2:50 am
want to compare them
July 20th, 2008 at 3:19 am
Cascade rocks…but I’m willing to wash around…
lol
July 20th, 2008 at 3:35 am
I would use this prize with glee
July 20th, 2008 at 4:08 am
Cascade really cleans my dishes well!
July 20th, 2008 at 4:12 am
i really think it’s all dishwasher dependent. Ours went out recently and forced to buy a new one find even the cheap store brands work magnificently, even on dry food. Though the big saying in this house is SCRAPE, RINSE, PUT… kids know exactly what we mean when we say it
July 20th, 2008 at 4:15 am
Sweet
July 20th, 2008 at 4:54 am
I have used Cascade for years and years. It does the job I need done. Would not mind trying others.
July 20th, 2008 at 5:07 am
A side by side comparison sound like a lot of fun. I currently use Cascade Complete and it is does what it says. Would like to give Electrasol a try
July 20th, 2008 at 5:08 am
please enter me thank you
July 20th, 2008 at 5:14 am
We use both of these – so we would love to win the prize pack!
July 20th, 2008 at 6:04 am
My dishes sure could use this.
July 20th, 2008 at 7:45 am
I would love to try these products out.
July 20th, 2008 at 8:05 am
Who wouldn’t love to try this out! Thanks for the contest!
July 20th, 2008 at 8:09 am
I use this everyday..sure would be nice to have an extra bottle or two..
July 20th, 2008 at 8:24 am
Too funny…I would so love to try them both…currently I just use the gel packs in my dishwasher.
July 20th, 2008 at 8:24 am
Nice prize.
July 20th, 2008 at 9:06 am
I have both Cascade and Electrasol under my sink right now, so I’d love to win either of them. Thanks for doing this!
July 20th, 2008 at 9:48 am
Please enter me
July 20th, 2008 at 10:08 am
I’ve been using a less expensive brand and I’d love to compare.
July 20th, 2008 at 10:31 am
Thanks for the very useful giveaway.
July 20th, 2008 at 10:41 am
I’d love to compare these two dishwashing detergents. With the price of everything going up, I’ve been using a generic brand.
July 20th, 2008 at 10:53 am
I use both products. They both work great.
July 20th, 2008 at 10:56 am
i just got a dishwasher!
July 20th, 2008 at 11:17 am
I have used both brands. It would be interesting to do a comparison.
July 20th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
I only buy one of two brands: Electrasol or Cascade. They both work great; however, I must admit my decision in buying is usually based on which one is on sale! With today’s economy, you gotta save where you can. And the tabs and gelcaps are the best invention since…well, the dishwasher!
July 20th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
I like both, have used both,and whichever one has the best sale is the one I buy.
July 20th, 2008 at 1:49 pm
We have not had very good luck with the gel pacs or the tablets, so we stick to the powder or liquid. I would love to compare these two liquids. I usually have coupons for either of them, but usually stay with the Cascade because it works pretty well. My hubby used to tell people that the dishwasher was the most expensive “sterilizer” he ever hoped to buy since all dishes are washed in dish soap and rinsed before loading them in the dishwasher. It is easier than trying to get off the baked on pieces left by the dishwasher.
Thank you for such a useful giveaway.
July 20th, 2008 at 2:06 pm
If I win I’ll do a side by side too
July 20th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Clean dishes…a must!
July 20th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
PLEASE COUNT ME IN ON THIS AWESOME GIVEAWAY
July 20th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
I’ve been trying different things out for a while, i really like the Cascade, so i’d love more of it.
July 20th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
I can use all the help I can get!!!!
July 20th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
We are a Cascade Complete family but would try Electrasol to compare the products!
July 20th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
I wanna try these!
July 20th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
I’ve never tried electrosol, so this might be a good start!
July 20th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Maybe some new detergent will get rid of the spots on my glasses!
July 20th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
I love Cascade!
July 20th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
I’d like to try these!
thanks
July 20th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
What a useful prize!
July 20th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
I use Cascade in the dishwasher all the time and would love to win a free bottle of it. I also love to try new things out so would love it if I was to win a free bottle of Electrasol as well. This is a great giveaway and I really hope I win. Thanks.
July 20th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
I use Sunlight,but would love to try these.
Thanks for the giveaway
July 20th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
I like cascade, but I would like to try the electrosol liquid.
July 20th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
With the cost of groceries, winning anything for the home is very welcome!
July 20th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
I just moved out from my parents home and have my first place. I now love house products
July 20th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
We use normal Cascade…I’d love to try both of these products
July 20th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
I would like to compare the two. I just moved into a new home and I am not thrilled with the performance of my dishwasher. I need to find the right detergent!
July 20th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Trying both would be very interesting – Dishwashing detergent is one of those things I
tend to just grab at Walmart or Family Dollar – depending on what they have in stock. I tend to
get Cascade for some reason -
July 20th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
I’ve always wondered which one of these works the best.
July 20th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
I’m always experimenting with cleaning products and would love to try these!
July 20th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
The only kind to use!!!!!!!!!!
July 21st, 2008 at 4:30 am
Please enter me into the contest. Thanks!
July 26th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
Both of these products are absolutely HORRIBLE for the environment. If you have children, you are poisoning their world by using either of these products. In addition to containing chlorine bleach, they both contain phosphates which kill all living things in the water. They are not filtered out of cesspools, septic tanks or any sewage treatment plants.
Please use natural, phosphate and bleach free products and DO NOT use any of the Cascade or Electrasol products…please, if for no other reason, do it for your children and for the fish and plants in our waters.
