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…

I love product trials and comparisons … I currently use Electrosol tablets, but would love to try Cascade ….
[Reply]
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.
[Reply]
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!

I just got my dishwasher, and I’ve only ever used Cascade…I’d like to try Electrasol, though.

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.

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.

[Reply]
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!
[Reply]
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.
[Reply]
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!
[Reply]
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.
[Reply]
July 13th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Free cleaning products! I would love to win! Helps the checkbook~
[Reply]
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!

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.
[Reply]
July 14th, 2008 at 3:05 am
I use both products all the time

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.

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 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.)
[Reply]
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.

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.
[Reply]
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!
[Reply]
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

With all the people in the house, we go through alot of dishwasher detergent.
[Reply]

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???

Thank you so much for the chance. We are aways running our dishwasher.

I find even though I prewash my dishes, I still have to run some of them twice through the dishwasher!

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
[Reply]
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.
[Reply]
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.

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.
