Hi, Thanks for your question. The NTL-JD-35ML Sensor Automatic Soap Dispenser model is not suitable for dishwashing detergent. This device is perfect for dispensing hand soap, lotion, and similar products. it is designed for thicker liquids. Dishwashing detergent can cause dripping, clogging, or malfunction in the pump system because it is more fluid. I recommend that you prefer manual pumps or special dishwashing detergent dispensers for the kitchen. You can use our product for hand soap without any problems. If you have any other question I'll be glad to help! � �
