Cascade Complete Gel

A pour gel for 24-hour stuck-on food. The page says it has 2X the cleaning power of Cascade Complete Powder on starch and protein soils. The Fresh bottle in the gallery is 120 oz.

Procter & Gamble owns the brand. Cascade's manufacturing page names that parent, and ProPublica traced production to St. Louis. This gel page never says Canada.

Dawn's grease fighters are in the formula, the page says. It is phosphate free. Pairing it with a rinse aid is the brand's tip for drying.
