1. Cast iron skillet
Do not use dish soap to wash a cast iron skillet; soap will remove the oils that protect the pan. Unlike most skillets, a cast iron skillet requires special care. Scrub the pan with hot water and a soft brush. Allow the skillet to air dry. Once the skillet is dry, apply vegetable oil to the surface with a paper towel. Coat the entire skillet with a thin layer of oil.
2. Washing machine
Never attempt to use dish soap in the washing machine to wash clothes. Dish soap is not like laundry soap—it will likely cause the washing machine to overflow with bubbles. Removing dish soap suds from a washing machine is a tedious process.
3. Dishwasher
