How much should I use from each pump?

Both pumps dispense about 4 ml per press. For dishes, a press or two is usually plenty for a sink, so pump a little at a time and add water to create suds. For laundry, use 6 pumps, around 24 ml, for a normal load, or 10 pumps, around 40 ml, for large or heavily soiled loads. Adjust based on load size, how soiled the wash is, and the care instructions on your garments.
