Can I use Dish Soap in my dishwasher?

Have you ever been out of dishwasher liquid and wondered if maybe you could substitute in dish soap instead? Here are some things to consider that may dissuade you from making the substation:
  • Dish soap is formulated to create suds, which help lift dirt and grease away from dishes. However, dishwashers are designed to work with detergents that do not create suds. When you use dish soap in a dishwasher, the suds can overflow the machine and create a mess.
  • Regular Dish soap can damage your dishwasher. The suds from dish soap can also damage the seals and gaskets in your dishwasher. This can lead to leaks and other problems.
  • Dish soap can leave residue on your dishes, which can make them look cloudy or dull.
  • ​
For these reasons, we don’t recommend using dish soap in your dishwasher.
Here are some additional tips for using your dishwasher:
  • Load your dishwasher correctly. Make sure to load your dishwasher so that the dishes do not touch each other. This will allow the water and detergent to circulate freely and clean the dishes thoroughly.
  • Use the correct amount of detergent. The amount of detergent you need will vary depending on the size of your load and the type of detergent you are using. Follow the instructions on the detergent bottle for the correct amount.
  • Choose the right cycle. There are different cycles for different types of loads. Choose the cycle that is appropriate for the dishes you are washing.
  • Run the dishwasher regularly. The more often you run your dishwasher, the better it will clean your dishes. Try to run your dishwasher at least once a day.​

By following these tips, you can keep your dishwasher clean and in good working order.
