Can i use dishwashing liquid in a front load washing machine to clean out soap residue on the inner drum?

it may work but use it VERY SPARINGLY. DON'T USE MUCH!!!!!





I sometimes use dawn in the dishwasher (different appliance but same principle) and I can only use less than a dime size drop because otherwise it will overflow the kitchen with suds.Can i use dishwashing liquid in a front load washing machine to clean out soap residue on the inner drum?
Absolutely not. Dish washing liquid will just keep making bubbles and foam until the machine is full of it and it may even leak out all over the floor. It's not made to be a low foam detergent like laundry detergent is, which is why the bubbles don't overflow when you use laundry detergent. Front loading laundry detergent is even lower in foaming agents than regular detergent. You'll have a heck of a mess to clean up.





Also, soap does not clean up soap residue. If running a hot water wash cycle (with no clothes) doesn't remove the soap, you have have to take a scrub brush and scrub it off.Can i use dishwashing liquid in a front load washing machine to clean out soap residue on the inner drum?
I wouldn't. Try vinegar.
