QuestionWhat happens if I do put dish soap on the inside?Community AnswerDish soap doesn't help with descaling, since the calcium carbonate buildups are not sensitive to alkaline liquids (dish soap is alkaline, with an average pH between 8 and 9). If you put it inside while it is turned off and cold, and rinse very thoroughly before using, you shouldn't have any problem.
