Cascade Platinum Plus ActionPacs

Cascade is a leading American brand of automatic dishwasher detergent. It was first introduced in 1953 by the Procter & Gamble Company (P&G), a period when dishwashers were becoming more common in American households. The brand has evolved from simple powder formats to liquid gels and, more recently, to high-performance multi-chamber pods or 'ActionPacs' like the Platinum Plus series shown. These pods often incorporate other P&G technologies, such as Dawn grease-fighting agents, to improve cleaning efficiency.

Most Cascade products sold in North America are manufactured in the United States, specifically at facilities such as the P&G plant in St. Louis, Missouri. The brand remains a wholly owned subsidiary of Procter & Gamble, a multinational consumer goods corporation headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. As of 2026, P&G continues to maintain its position as a global leader in the home care sector, utilizing Cascade as its flagship brand for automatic dishwashing solutions.
