No, you should not use dishwasher liquid in a washing machine. Dishwasher liquid is specifically formulated for use in dishwashers, where it creates a lot of suds to clean dishes effectively. Using dishwasher liquid in a washing machine can cause excessive sudsing, which can lead to overflow, leaks, and damage to the machine.
Washing machines are designed to work with laundry detergent, which is formulated to produce minimal sudsing while effectively cleaning clothes. Laundry detergent contains different ingredients that are suitable for removing stains and dirt from fabrics without causing excessive suds.
To properly clean your clothes in a washing machine, it's important to use a laundry detergent specifically designed for that purpose. Read the instructions on the detergent packaging for the recommended amount to use based on your load size and water hardness.
Using the appropriate detergent for each respective appliance will help ensure optimal performance and protect your washing machine and dishwasher from potential damage.
