AnswerTHE MANUFACTURER CLEARLY STATES ON THE PRODUCT LABEL "DO NOT MIX WITH BLEACH". I SUGGEST THAT YOU FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS.

Many dish detergents contain chemicals which may react with chlorine bleach. Ammonia would be one example. Bleach should not be added to the wash water ever. Bleach should be added at a rate of one teaspoon per gallon of water, to the rinse water, not the wash water. This is standard in restaurants across the U.S.

Dirt and dish soap neutralize bleach and make it ineffective as a sanitizer. This is why dishes must first be washed and rinsed before being submerged in a bleach solution and air dried. Air drying is required to ensure bleach has a sufficient contact time to kill germs.

Is potassium fat-soluble?

No; when they say Oils and Water do not mix they mean to say that Hydrophobic liquids are immiscible [won't mix with] Hydrophyllic liquids. In a similar way, the two types of solids that make solutes are different; one ionic and polar, the other both non-ionic and non-polar. Hydrophobic means 'water-disliking' because they are non-polar which in this case means they have no net-electric charges; they are non-ionic. Hydrophyllic means 'water-liking' because they have a net-electric charge; they are ionic - just like the ionic, non-polar-fat disliking Potassium Ion!
