The new phosphate free formula with bleach ruins metal ware and does not clean dishes.  I purchased the Cascade with lemon about 3/20/09, I used Cascade fro years and years and thought it was the best but now they changed the formula and it ruins all pots and pans and metal ware.  My expensive All-Clad skillet and pots were washed for years with Cascade with no problem, now they are stained pitted and ruined, they give the food a metal taste.  My heirloom butter dish passed down from my great grand mother has been washed with Cascade thousands of time with no problem until now, ruined, tarnished beyond repair and pitted, all my bake ware pans are ruined.
The topper is that the dishes are still dirty and gritty, and it will not take lipstick from cups, it always did before.  I called Proctor and Gamble and they are aware of the problem but in denial.  They sent me huge envelope to pack all my damaged items in and start an insurance claim, they want the old product back also. 
The sent me two coupons for Cascade products of my choice, but I won't buy the new formula gel!
