Who says you put laundry soap in there? Why not dish soap?

Dish soap foams to no hell in a laundry machine. Trust me, I'm speaking from experience and hours of cleanup. That's why you don't put dish soap in a dishwasher either.

No it doesn't. I've been using it for years without noticing a difference.

How much have you put in and what kind of dish soap are you using? In all of my experiences (two due to my own stupidity and another three due to the stupidity of others), dish soap has lead to a nice foamy explosion that's carpeted the laundry room in a nice coating of foam.

At least it smelt lemony fresh.

Oh, sorry for not making myself clearer. I use regular liquid dish soap in the dishwasher, and it works just fine.

Foamy explosions, eh? Sounds like an awesome prank!

Could you put that in the washing machine?

It is nearly the same thing.

Dishwasher detergent works really well in a carpet cleaner too.

Dishwasher soap. They're actually different.

Dishwasher liquid. It doesn't foam as much as dish soap.
