Is it ok to wash dishes with small amount of clorox?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Be cautious: Clorox can be toxic so it would be important to assure all of it was rinsed off of the dishes. Not to mention, if you have infants or even small pets as well, and you put the plates on the floor for the pets, they may ingest some by accident and it could cause serious issues. Overall, best to use the approved, safe dish detergents which are not toxic. Happy washing.

Yes: But try diluting it and wear gloves, rinse well.
