Default Is Dawn detergent as good as synthrapol?

I just read, in a pin on Pinterest, that Dawn dishwashing detergent works almost as well as synthrapol in terms of not letting loose dye in the water re-settle on the fabrics during pre-washing. You use 2 tablespoons of Dawn (and nothing else) for a full load, and obviously less if your load is smaller. Has anyone else heard of this, or even better, tried it? The pin said it was great for pre-washing fabrics and also for washing a quilt for the first time. I'm wondering if it is enough to remove things like water soluble glue, or a soluble stabilizer. Anyway, I dying to know what the word is "out there" with everyone.
