Can I use Dishwashing Liquid in the dishwasher?Updated 10 days ago
TL;DR: No. Dishwashing Liquid is designed for hand dishwashing and sink use only. It should not be used in a dishwasher. For machine dishwashing, use Dishwashing Tablets.
Why you should not use it in a dishwasher
Hand wash only
Dishwashing Liquid is formulated to create suds and work with manual washing. Dishwashers require low-foam detergents designed specifically for machine use. Using hand dishwashing liquid in a dishwasher can cause excessive foaming, poor cleaning performance, and potential leaks or damage.
What to use instead
For machine dishwashing, use Dishwashing Tablets. They are specifically formulated for dishwashers with low-foam, high-performance cleaning that works with your machine's wash cycle.
