How much Sensitive Laundry Liquid should I use?Updated 9 days ago

TL;DR: 6 pumps (24mL) for a regular load, 10 pumps (40mL) for a large or heavily soiled load, 4 pumps (16mL) per 5 litres of water for hand washing. Each pump from the Laundry Pump dispenses 4mL. Pump or pour straight into your machine's detergent compartment.

How much should I use per load?

Dosing for Koh Sensitive Laundry Liquid is straightforward. For a regular machine load use 6 pumps (24mL). For a large load or heavily soiled items use 10 pumps (40mL). For hand washing in a basin, use 4 pumps (16mL) per 5 litres of water. Each pump from the Laundry Pump dispenses exactly 4mL, so the maths is simple. Always follow the garment care label on the items being washed, and stick to the recommended dose: more detergent doesn't mean cleaner laundry, and excess product can leave residue in synthetic fibres. If you're using the bag-in-box without a pump, the Laundry Dosing Cup gives you a quick visual measure.

✓ Regular load

6 pumps (24mL) into the detergent compartment, or as directed by your machine manual.

✓  Excess product can leave residue in synthetic fibres

✓  Always follow the garment care label

✓  Stick to the recommended dose, scale up only for genuinely heavy loads


How do I dispense it accurately?

Two optional tools make measuring easier. Koh Laundry Pump fits onto the bag-in-box and dispenses 4mL per pump, so a regular load is 6 pumps and a large load is 10 pumps. It comes with the Sensitive Laundry Starter Kit, or you can buy it separately. Koh Laundry Dosing Cup is a heat-proof silicone cup you fill from the bag-in-box, then pour into the detergent compartment. The cup goes in the dishwasher, and the silicone survives the dryer if it ends up in a load by accident.
