My Mom is tired of paying coin operated machines in her building and they are always being used. She asked me if she could wash the clothes in the dishwasher by hanging them on the rack.
I told her that dishwashing detergent might be too harsh of the fabric and using Laundry detergent in a dishwasher could cause the dishwasher to oversud.
What do you think

I told my Mom I thought it was a bad idea, but I told her I'd ask anyway

Wash them in the sink like the old days! If you have to use new technology for laundry, dry them in the microwave.

I think that your mom should continue putting coins in the coin-operated laundry. If you and she decides to start doing your clothes in the dishwasher, it's likely that you'll destroy it over time. The weight of a pair of soaking wet blue jeans, not to mention 3 pairs of them would bend the flimsy racks that hold the dishes.
Additionally...have you considered the posibility that your clothing could actually catch on fire during the drying cycle of the dishwasher?
I think maybe you and your mom should devote more time to finding a way to actually purchase your own washer/dryer, instead of friolously wasting your time with hair-brained ideas.
The call it 'DISH'washer for a reason.

you may wash some thing on your dishwasher. Even potatoes. the basically difficulty is that potatoes are not dishes, and neither are clothing. Turning the dishwasher right into a bath may artwork, and washing with the help of hand will actual be good exercising.
