I'd add that you should also give the food trap a good once over before putting any laundry into the dishwasher. Great suggestion.
Part of the reason this works so well is the heat and agitation provided by the dishwasher.

Many times I wash hard to get clean whites in the dishwasher. For years my daughter played softball on the traveling team. They would go to Georgia for many games. Her ball uniforms would come back full of the Georgia red clay. I would put that uniform in the dishwasher. The coach's come up to me one day and asked me how I got her pants and socks so white, when all the other girls pants were so stained. I hung my head and said I wash them in the top shelf of the dishwasher. The whole team started washing them like that then. Also, any hard to clean whites I have go in the dishwasher, along with all my bras. Top shelf of the dishwasher gives your bra's a longer life. Without dish's of course LOL

I lurk on some cloth diaper sites even though I don’t CD. Many women on there use 1 tablespoon of dawn on there diapers (front loaders) and they say they do not have any problems.

Actually, I have used washing-up liquid in my front loading wachine machine. Usually when I have run out of washing powder and can’t be bothered to grate up some soap mixture. I use the very cheapest liquid (Asda Smart Price) which doesn’t really foam much and just squirt it two or three times into the dispenser. My risk – but so far, so good. Sometimes I just run the machine with washing soda; sometimes with nothing added – depends on what’s on the washing….
