They contain a huge amount of phosphates which when put into the soil (as all wastewater will eventually be) interferes with the plants normal processes of getting water and minerals from the soil.
Most liquid detergents are phosphate free -- better yet go with soap instead of a detergent.

some detergents contains phosphates, that are very good for plants ! too good, because plants grow too fast and drain the soil from every nutrutive things and minerals and oxygen too, so you will obtain a soil with no possibiliy to grow a plant on it and water that is hypoxic(without oxygen), so fish and water plants will die too.
