ya it does, but only if you get it on the grass, if your real careful you can get away with it, but it does kill the grass

I use a few splashes of Tide Laundry Detergent, make sure it has no bleach. And hose it all down good and it works great. My lawn looks fine too.

^Its probably his parents who care. I don't give a shit about grass, but my parents do.

dish soap will not kill your lawn, it depends on how much gets on the grass and what time of day you put it on. i spray my lawn every 2 weeks with soap as it "cleans" the grass blades and allows osmosis to occur (google Jerry Baker). so its actually beneifcial, although i spray in the evening and its mixed with water (obviously)
