Is there any thing I can use as a substitute, or any thing I can use to make some?

I've used laundry soap, or even shampoo, if you're washing by hand. Just rinse very well in hot water.

It’s really not safe to "create a substitute". Dishwashing soaps remove food and grease deposits. If you try using a substitute, you run a high risk of uncleanliness and you really don’t want to get or give your family salmonella or any other bacterial food poisoning. It's also a really good idea to use antibacterial dishwashing soap. Use disposable paper plates and plastic utensils meanwhile until you can go shopping for dishwashing soap. And don’t forget to rinse the dirty dishes you have right now with water so they don’t attract cockroaches and other nasty bugs.

Wash them by hand, or go to the store and buy more.
I wouldn't put anything in the dishwasher that wasn't real dishwasher soap again. Once I wanted to wash some oranges and put in regular dishwashing soap and it bubbled all over the place. I then had to mop up the entire kitchen. Then, cleaning the mop outside, I got water in the sliding glass door and had to remove the whole door to clean it up. I got grease from the rollers on the carpet and had to clean that too. One thing leads to another so it is not worth it to put regular soap in a dishwasher. It took me the whole day to wash those oranges.

I don't know of any way to "make it" -- but I bought a teeny tiny dw liquid and keep it under the sink for emergencies such as this. They aslo sell disposable washclothes -- I have a few of those on hand too.

Are you out of dishwasher soap or soap for washing them by hand? If you are out of dishwasher soap you could run them without soap. Run the water in the sink until it is hot and turn on the dishwasher. They will be clean..very clean. You could wash them in the sink with any kind of soap or shampoo or cleaning product or bleach. Just rinse them well.

I would make a thin paste of Baking soda & lemon juice. Put it in the main soap holder.

What the hell do you want that rubbish for?
Wipe the remains of whatever was on the plate along with the grease with a bit of bread which you can then eat.
That's how us guys do the washing up!
It's quick - and you get a meal at the same time.
You quite get to like cold curry mixed with fish & chips from last Thursday!

Use shampoo if you are washing them by hand. Don't put shampoo in the dishwasher. You will have bubbles everywhere.
