How to Use Dish Soap in The Dishwasher

Dish soap can be used in an automatic dishwasher, but there are some precautions that should be taken. A very small amount of soap should be used as the dish soap will foam more than automatic dishwasher detergent. This could cause the dishwasher to overflow with suds and create a wet and foamy mess in the kitchen. Some dishwasher manufacturer's recommend against using dish soap in the dishwasher; keep that in mind before attempting this method. The warranty could be affected.
