I bought a pack of these today just to try them. I add a cup of Cascade or a Finish powerball (dishwasher tab) to my laundry if I have very dirty or organic stains (the enzymes and phosphates help). These packs seem to be mostly the same thing and work in much the same way. It's probably repackaged dishwasher packets! In any case, they work about as well as adding the dishwasher powder for me. I ordinarily just use Charlie's Soap, which has no enzymes (non-bio). Sometimes I do need a boost for some loads of laundry. I wasn't unimpressed with the Tide packs but probably not impressed enough to buy them again.

@mamapinky0, P&G Commissioned a household study... where they gave participants (Chlorine) Cascade Gel, and (Enzyme) Cascade Action Pacs to use over two months. None of the participants, noticed a difference between the two formulas, although many did prefer the convenience of the Action Pacs. They also did a separate study, asking participants if they could tell the difference between Electrasol Dishwasher Gel & Chlorinated Cascade Gel. Cascade was preferred over 2 to 1. Many of the participants, just thought Cascade cleaned better... and left everything with less visible spotting. There's a really good reason Cascade Gel was the highest selling Dishwasher Detergent in this country (according to Nielsen Analytics)... until the ban on Phosphates. It worked, and it worked extremely well. The second highest selling dishwasher detergent, was a liquid gel (comparable to Cascade Gel) made by Huish/Sun Products. It contained the same amount of Phosphate, as Cascade... and I think the same chlorine content, just different thickening agents. I'm so glad.. you like the Gel. I was a little worried, it might not work as well, and the STPP could need some adjusting, but I think the 3/4 teaspoon is right on. And... I think it's a phenomenal product, when spiked ;)

@livebetter...the scented version is excellent. If I re-buy, I will buy the scented (just because I like scented anything better). I bought this Free version, since it was on sale. Both scented and unscented are incredible performers, now having used both!

Walmart and Kroger (all the ones around me anyways) discounted their persil sensitive. I picked up 8 large persil sensitive for 3.99 bottle last week. They were originally 15.99 marked down to 5.99 and had 2.00 off coupons for them making them a steal. I noticed persil original pods have a new container too so wonder if they are reformulating it again. Walmart took persil sensitive out of their shelf space though. I sure hope it’s not discontinued too since my son uses this one and works well.
