Hi Clyde. If you mean a bit of dish detergent in a pail of water for cleaning the floor, yes. But make sure the dish soap is for hand washing and read the product usage directions on both products.
Make sure the dish soap does NOT contain any kind of bleach or chlorine products in it. You never want to mix ammonia with bleach as it will combine to make poisonous fumes.
Ammonia is pretty nasty stuff anyway. I would use something else.

Ammonia is harsh on skin, etc, yes. But it is actually the most biodegradable cleanser, and an excellent fertilizer when used in the right concentration.
I found you comment interesting. Very few people realize it is completely biodegradable with NO long term negative environmental consequences. Add to that the fact that it is a naturally occurring compound that is found EVERYWHERE, although not in the concentrations you get when you buy a bottle of ammonia.
Yes, you certainly can ... the more expensive Dawn dish detergent has ammonia in it! Use a cheaper brand and add your own ammonia, much cheaper. How much, start with an amount you think appropriate for the size of the container. You can always increase or decrease the amounts.
Dawn has said their products do not contain ammonia. People keep spreading this from a Facebook post!

Although Dawn does not contain ammonia, it should still not be mixed with bleach. Here is some information that was sent in to a follow up to the article you posted:
"Dawn wrote the VERIFY team, None of our Dawn dishwashing liquids contain ammonia. However, you shouldnt mix dish washing liquids with any cleaner, including bleach.Dr. Dasgupta said that is because most of them have amines, an organic form of ammonia."
It goes on to say each should never be added to any type of cleaner to avoid any possible toxic fumes.

I put Dawn dishsoap and ammonia diluted with water to make a spray cleaner for my stove and countertops, great for grease
