No, it is not recommended to use dishwasher detergent in a washing machine. Dishwasher detergent is specifically formulated for use in dishwashers and is not designed to be used in a washing machine.
Using dishwasher detergent in a washing machine can cause excessive foaming and may lead to overflows or damage to the machine. Additionally, dishwasher detergents are often more alkaline and can be harsher on fabrics, potentially causing damage or discoloration.
It is best to use a detergent specifically made for washing machines. These detergents are designed to work effectively in the specific conditions of a washing machine, such as the water temperature, agitation, and fabric types. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the detergent packaging for the recommended proportions based on the load size and level of dirtiness.
