Just wondering if in a pinch, can I use Ajax Lemon dishwashing liquid to do laundry?

No, it won't properly rinse out and can cause staining due to the artificial colour in it.

Yes, but don't use as much as called for in the washer. If you do it will take you a long time with multiple rinces to get the soap out. Another alternative that works well is hair shampoo but again don't use too much.
Fill the tub with water and clothes first with no soap. Then add a little at a time until you have a nice layer of soap bubbles. That should do the trick.

I wouldn't do it. It would take forever for the suds to disappear. Dishwashing liquid is more "soapy" than detergent. You would probably have to wash it a couple of times, plus your going to smell like dishwashing liquid.

Dishwashing liquid makes too many suds for the washing device and it isn't made to sparkling outfits. I trust one gal that dishwashing cleansing soap makes a stunning good spot remover, yet it really is it. i do not imagine that is solid for the washing device both. purely my opinion.

I wouldn't suggest it. Dishwashing soap tends to make more bubbles and will most likely end up all over your floor and possibly back up and out of your washing machine drain.

Not in the washer, but you can do hand wash with it if you only have a few things. Just wash them in the sink with warm water, but nothing really delicate like silk, the detergent could damage it.
Good luck!
