Fresh lemon juice is about 5-6% citric acid, while concentrate is about 3.5-4%, which is good enough. But cleaning in pure lemon juice is expensive no matter where you get it. You can use a smaller quantity as an additive to detergents as a brightener, but dilution will lower its working speed by raising pH.

If maintaining the acid concentration is a concern adding dish washing soap, a base, is going to neutralize some of the acid and the base will be consumed in the reaction. Conversely if you want the soap to be concentrated adding acid is going to neutralize some of the base and the acid is going to be consumed in the reaction. That might be what you are saying and I just did not understand.
