Do I need to use Laundry Pump?Updated 5 hours ago
TL;DR: No, you do not have to. Laundry Pump is the quickest way to get a precise 4 ml dose every press, but Laundry Dosing Cup measures the same doses by hand. What matters is dosing accurately, because Sensitive Laundry Liquid is concentrated.
Do I need to use Laundry Pump?
Each full press delivers exactly 4 ml, so there is no measuring or pouring. Six presses for a normal load, ten for a large or heavily soiled one. Pump straight into the drawer or into the cup.
Silicone cup with marked lines at 24 ml and 40 ml on the inside. Heat-proof and safe if it ends up in the dryer, and it can go through the wash to clean itself. No priming, no maintenance.
Why does accurate dosing matter?
⚠ Do not pour by eye
Pouring by eye tends to overshoot. Too much detergent can leave residue on clothes and make rinsing less effective, which is worth avoiding on sensitive skin. Too little and clothes do not come out properly clean.
✓ Treat the mark, not the load
For a heavy mark, pre-treat the spot with Stain Remover rather than raising the dose for the whole load.
How many presses does a load need?
✓ Small load
4 presses. Use for a small or lightly soiled load.
✓ Large or heavily soiled
10 presses, or fill the cup to the 40 ml marker. Dose to load size, not drum capacity.
