TL;DR: Dose to washer size and soil level. Small load: ½ sheet or 8-12 ml (2-3 pumps). Normal: 1 sheet or 16 ml (4 pumps). Heavy: 2 sheets or 24 ml (6 pumps). Sheets are perforated so you can split for small loads. Place sheets in the drum.

Good to know
- One full pump of Sensitive Laundry Liquid = 4 ml.
- Pre-treat heavy spots instead of increasing dose for the whole load.
- Always place sheets in the drum first for the best clean, never in the drawer.
