Yes, I use ordinary liquid dish detergent in mine all the time. A couple of times I found that it had all came out overnight or whenever as reported by others BUT I discovered that the dispenser spout was obscured by caked on soap. As soon as I cleaned it off, it worked like new. I am very happy with it

If you take pods from sealable package, they dry out and the detergent will not work as well...leaves crumbles of detergent on dishes and stops up drain in dishwasher....you can probably guess how I came to have this information.

I use my Dr Bronners liquid soap and it works like a charm. I have heard of some using dawn dish soap too!

I used Palmolive Soft Touch dish detergent. I filled it to the fill line on the soap dispenser bottle with detergent and then to the top fill line with water. I added a little scented oil....maybe half cap or a few drops. It will make tons of soap for pennies a bottle! The reason I used this type of dish detergent is because it has a very light scent to begin with and it doesn't hide my scented oil. Also, I like the pale sea green color of the dish soap.

Yes, I had dish soap in it. But, it only worked for a few weeks, and not very well at that. Don't buy it.

Sure---it beats using chlorine-based products! HOWEVER, I would not risk dumping the product into the dishwasher and turning it on. What you CAN DO is to put a tablespoon of the powdered lye into a container and add about a quart of water to it. Then dump that into your dishwasher and let it splash around inside. Or--a better way--would be to put the lye-and-water solution (above) on a rag and wipe down the inside of your dishwasher. I've been using lye in water for several years now instead of harmful chlorine and it has really saved my bacon when family members are coughing and sneezing all over everything. I add it to my dish water (use it with Dawn detergent), and use it to clean surfaces. After all, lye was the basis of Lysol! Your own homemade "Lysol" is cheaper, fragrance free, and works very well.

Hi, I do not think Dawn will work on the dishwasher as it is plastic. The plastic booster Maytag suggests does work on plastic food saver dishes. You can try it but I would also consider a cleaner with a bleaching agent. It sounds as if the inside of the dishwasher has lost its resistance to food staining. If you are able to clean it, I would suggest sealing it with a countertop wax/sealer to protect the finish.

I've only used regular. I would have to assume it's primarily for regular dish soap.

I Don't think so, since it only works with the special soap containing flask that you have to buy to make it work.

Calgon works with your detergent. It melts stains away. It brightens and takes away stains. I have used it for things that have yellowed from being stored. The yellowing and dingy look melts away. I love Calgon Water Softener for laundry, dishes & general cleaning.

I think any soapy water will work if you soak the dish in it. I haven't used Dawn in many years. This has been my favorite for a long time because it is environmentally friendly, gentle on skin and it works!

Yes. I fill mine with the measurements on the liner and compare it to what my liquid measuring dish says and they always align. So I add the water first and then the powder and it works perfect

nope, nor would it have the necessary rate of flow. fortunately, most dishwasher detergents contain sufficient water softeners and surfactants for hard water. I don't have excessively hard tap water here in the Denver area, but I have no problem using the waste water from my RO system to use for the dishwasher; that is, running the RO system first, then running the dishwasher. The dishwasher uses up whatever waste water has been pushed into the plumbing lines first, and dishes still come out clean and spotless. In short, even if your RO tank did have enough flow and capacity, it would be a waste to wash dishes with RO water. nope, nor would it have the necessary rate of flow. fortunately, most dishwasher detergents contain sufficient water softeners and surfactants for hard water.

Yes - although Norwex has dish washing clothes. The enviro clothe does very well with dishes. Just don't use dish soap with bleach or hand lotion.- that goes for any of the Norwex clothes.

I haven't tried that but I would assume it would work as long as you water it down. I'm assuming you're talking about regular dish soap and not actual dishwashing machine liquid. I have put watered down dish liquid in a different foam dispenser and it worked so I would assume it would work in this one just fine also.

it's a powder so you load it in the detergent dispenser just like any other detergent. You just don't have to use as much as typical detergents. unless I have an extremely dirty load of dishes , I only fill the main wash cup and not the prewash cup.

Like another customer replied, I too use it for Dawn brand liquid dish soap. Works fine and is perfect for when I need to wash only a couple of dishes and also great for use in the RV, where you don't want to waste water by filling a sink with dishwater. Much cheaper than buying the foaming version of Dawn. I didn't water it down quite as much as the marks on the bottle indicate to do. However, that ratio is really dependent on both your preferences and the soap used. For example, I have another bottle on order for another brand of soap I use (a liquid castile soap) that only requires a single droplet for hand washing. I figure I'll have to water it down more than the indicator marks show. Like another customer replied, I too use it for Dawn brand liquid dish soap.
