[Shop-talk] Dishwashers in the garage

[eric at megageek.com]

This weekend, I installed a dishwasher in my shop.  I have a few questions 
for those of you with experience with them...

First, will normal dishwasher soap hurt engine parts, bare metals, etc?
Next, is there a soap that I should use that will not hurt the dishwasher?
Finally, are there things that should NOT go in there?

Thanks.
