How much should I use per load of laundry? (Dosage)Updated 13 days ago

For a normal load of laundry, use 24 mL of Koh Sensitive Laundry Liquid, which is 6 pumps of Laundry Pump. For a large or heavily soiled load, use 40 mL, which is 10 pumps. For a small or lightly soiled load, use 16 mL, which is 4 pumps. Each full pump dispenses 4 mL. For hand washing, use 16 mL (4 pumps) per 5 litres of cool to lukewarm water.

Measure Koh Sensitive Laundry Liquid with Laundry Pump. Fit the pump to the bottle, prime it, then count full pumps at 4 mL each, dispensing straight into the detergent drawer. Six full pumps gives the 24 mL normal dose. A dosing cup is the alternative if you would rather read a volume off a marked line than count pumps. Add the detergent before you start the cycle rather than part way through.

Dose to the size of the load, not to the maximum capacity of your washing machine. A half full 10 kg machine is still a normal load and takes the 24 mL dose, not the 40 mL one. The full breakdown by wash size, including the equivalent Sensitive Laundry Sheets doses and how the standard doses map onto different machine capacities, is covered in the laundry dosing by wash size article.

A 1.5L pack of Koh Sensitive Laundry Liquid gives around 60 normal washes at the 24 mL dose. Dosing larger loads at 40 mL brings that number down, so the figure moves with how you wash rather than being fixed.
