Free & Clear Gel vs Cascade Platinum Plus Dishwasher Pods

Both options make for good, if unremarkable, Dishwasher Detergents at the $25 budget range. While they should serve reasonably well, you might want to look into some other options at that price point.

If you're still interested in learning more about the Free & Clear Gel and Cascade Platinum Plus Dishwasher Pods, however, we wrote-up what we know about them:

Popular Mechanics, a source known for its hands-on testing and objective methodology, had good things to say about the Free & Clear Gel. It performed great in its "10 Best Dishwasher Detergents for a Sparkling Clean Every Time" roundup and earned the "Best Bio-Based Liquid" title.

Taking a look at the Cascade Platinum Plus Dishwasher Pods, we found that it hasn't managed to perform well enough to earn a spot in any Dishwasher Detergent roundups done by sources that conduct their own, high-quality, hands-on testing. That alone makes it difficult to recommend.

As a last step, we wanted to do a head-to-head Free & Clear Gel vs. Cascade Platinum Plus Dishwasher Pods comparison of their review performance but, unfortunately, weren't able to find any review ratings on either product.
