Dishwasher detergent is designed for use in a machine with powerful rinse jets; it can actually make you sick if you don’t rinse it very well. It will also make your hands hurt. Dish liquid, like Dawn and Palmolive, is designed to be used on a sponge to hand wash dishes and wipe down kitchen surfaces (if you choose). The sud-making magic in regular liquid dish soap will cause a mountain of bubbles and issues if you put it in a dishwasher. No shame if anyone didn’t know this, but you do now. A note about PODS of any kind, laundry or dish: Keep them AWAY from children! Up high or in a locked cabinet. For some reason, most major, non “green” manufacturers make them look like candy, and children have died from eating them.
