"This leaves a bubbly mess that proves very difficult to clean, especially in the water tank," says Jessica Samson, cleaning expert at The Maids cleaning services in Nebraska. "Instead, you should use a vinegar solution to clean the inside of your coffee maker. This will clean it much better and more efficiently. It can be tempting to use dish soap on your coffee maker, but trust me, don't do it!"
"Dish soap can strip away the seasoning on cast iron pans, so instead of cleaning them like you would a regular dish, use some hot water and a brush," says Garcia, adding that you can find cast iron cleaners if you need a deep clean.
"[Dish soap] can leave streaks and watermarks on stainless steel surfaces," says Sokolowski. Instead, opt for a solution specially formulated for stainless steel appliances.
"Like on floors, dish soap can leave streaks and residue on mirrors if you don't rinse it fully, and that can take a lot of water. Instead, use diluted vinegar or glass cleaner," recommends Schulz.
