    You have to be careful with the term liquid dishwashing detergent.
    Things  for basin washing are foam makers( like Joy or Dawn etc )
    since people like to see suds.  Foam is very bad in a tumbler it
    fouls up the contacting.   You want an automatic dishwashing
    detergent which won't make foam.   If you have ever used a laundry
    detergent in a dishwasher you will learn about this first hand.
    either the powder or liquid type is ok . use about 1-3 oz per gallon
    and less is better than more in cases like this.  Acetic acid (
    vinegar) is fairly ok with steel shot but I think you are better off
    on the alkaline side which makes the dry automatic dishwashing
    detergent better  or just washing soda.
