You could use a small amount of dish liquid. Be careful of how much you use as it is very sudsy.

Yes;; ;you can use dish soap but not more than a Tbsp. full for a wash machine; If someone had flooding because of the dish soap she must have used an awful lot.
You can use ammonia in a pinch about a cup full to a washer full of clothes. Rinse well
Also use a cup full of white vinegar to wash with and rinse with white vinegar too; the smell dissipates in the dryer.
Shampoo will work too,careful with the amount with it too.
Any time anything causes too much suds, a hand full of salt will dissolve the suds very quickly.

You can put 1 C. of regular baking soda in the wash water.. It deodorizes and takes out stains... If also does not suds and its ok for people with allergies/sensitivities.. It doesn't leave a perfume or smell.... That with a tiny bit of dishsoap should help.. Or you can just spot treat any stains with dishsoap.. To make sure the washer doesn't over suds.... Better yet go the neighbors and borror some soap... Good luck

If you're really desperate to wash some clothes, wash them by hand in your kitchen sink with a drop or two of dish soap or shampoo. Rinse them out as best as you can, then run them though the spin cycle and dry as usual.
I know I would never ever put anything but laundry detergent in my washing machine. That's just asking for problems!

NO! Do not use dish washing liquid. A friend of mine did it and it flooded her machine and ruined her carpets. They had to be replaced in the adjoining living room. She thought the sudsing would never stop.
Go to the store and get more Tide. Simple as that.

Baking soda is the best thing to wash your clothes with. It removes stains and odors. Dish detergent is okay, but wouldn't be my first choice.
