Hey what about soap in the water to break the oil barrier?

I wonder if a bit of dish soap would help--get through the oily water proofing?

Make sure you rinse very, very well. Dawn completely wrecks the taste of duck. BTW when you prepare that duck for me, I would like orange sauce too!!Thank you
