I ran out of dishwasher detergent one time. I KNEW you can't use regular soap, but I said if I just use a tiny amount, I'll rewash later if I have to. It can't be THAT bad.

No.

No amount is ever the right amount other than none.

I almost always have two boxes of washing powder, when one goes empty I can replace it while using the other. I usually go shopping more often than I use a box of detergent

"Two is one, one is none."

It applies to essential household commodities just like it does computer backups.

One is none, two is one, and three is even better.
