That's because the pod dissolves fast to start cleaning right away, releasing the soaking power of Dawn dishwashing liquid, while food-seeking enzymes latch on and break down food into particles so small they can flow right down the drain. It's so powerful it even works in the quick wash cycle. Plus, the Cascade Platinum dishwashing detergent is formulated to help prevent hard water filming, keeping your machine looking fresh and clean. Simply pop in an ActionPac and reveal a Platinum sparkle. Save up to 20 gal. of water per dishwasher load when you skip the prewash and run your dishwasher with the Cascade Platinum.
