Any thoughts on using methyl paraben as preservative here?

That’d be great.
You have to options:
A. Have the surfactants dissolve/emulsify parabens to keep them in solution.
B. Add paraben Sodium salts as they’re readily water soluble.

By the way, stay away from mild preservatives like Sodium benzoate, dishwashes need sound preservative systems as they may get in contact with (bacteria containing) rotten food debris.

Consider starting a new thread for that. This one already lost steam (and you’re getting off topic)
Also, try looking for its MSDS or datasheet to see if the ingredients are listed there.
