Never EVER confuse these two products …
… or you will end up with this:
Since Friday, we’ve been battling our dishwasher and the never-ending production of suds each time we run a cycle. I Googled “suds” and “dishwasher,” trying to diagnose the problem and concluded that some liquid hand soap must have found its way onto a dish or bowl in the first cycle on Friday. However, after removing all the dishes, using salt, ice cubes and vegetable oil to dissolve the suds, the dishwasher was still producing suds. So last night I popped open the rinse agent dispenser and noticed a few bubbles in it. It then occurred to me that Andrew, when refilling the rinse agent last week (Friday!), must have accidentally placed Dawn instead of Jet Dry into the dispenser. Sure enough, when I asked him, he realized his mistake. I called Bosch’s customer service line and was told to continue to run the dishwasher to try and run out the Dawn. Yeesh. I hate hand washing dishes in the meantime.

OH NO!!!
I am sure you will never make that mistake again!!! 
I hate hand washing dishes too.
Where in NH do you live? My SIL lives just outside of Portsmouth (which I love!). BTW, I am totally digging your blue kitchen. So nice to see something different for a change.
Haha… So I just “googled” dishwashing liquid accidently in dishwasher and I found your site! Luckily you posted how you got rid of it, because I think the salt has cured my problem. (I didn’t wash all of the dawn off of a pan)
You’re a lifesaver!
Thanks
To my defense those two blues look pretty similar.
