I think I've done it. I stripped my diapers with Dawn - I used about 1/2 tsp in a front loader - now the machine won't tumble. It will spin the water out but it won't actually wash! I did read a warning about damaging your machine on pinstripes and polkadots but since so many people here seem to use Dawn without trouble and I did it once before I thought I would try it! Oh boy, I cannot afford a new machine and I started using CDs partly to save $$$$$$$$$$!
