How much Koh laundry detergent should I use?Updated 4 days ago

TL;DR: Dose to load size and soil level, not washer capacity. Small load: half sheet or 16 mL (4 pumps). Normal: 1 sheet or 24 mL (6 pumps). Large or heavily soiled: 2 sheets or 40 mL (10 pumps). Measure Sensitive Laundry Liquid with Laundry Pump or Laundry Dosing Cup. Place Sensitive Laundry Sheets in the drum, not the drawer.

How much should I use for my load?

Dose to the load. Under 3 kg, use 16 mL (4 pumps) of Sensitive Laundry Liquid or half a Sensitive Laundry Sheet. For 3 to 10 kg of everyday washing, use 24 mL (6 pumps) or 1 sheet. For a full drum of heavily soiled clothes, or over 10 kg, use 40 mL (10 pumps) or 2 sheets.

How do I measure Sensitive Laundry Liquid?

Use Laundry Pump or Laundry Dosing Cup. Each full pump of Laundry Pump dispenses 4 mL, so a normal load is 6 pumps. Laundry Dosing Cup has lines at 24 mL and 40 mL on the inside, and it's heat-proof silicone, so it survives the dryer if it ends up in a load.

✓ Laundry Pump

Each full pump dispenses 4 mL. Decant Sensitive Laundry Liquid via the tap at the base of the refill box, then pump straight into the detergent compartment or into Laundry Dosing Cup.

✓ Laundry Dosing Cup

Fill to the 24 mL line for a normal load, or the 40 mL line for a large or heavily soiled load. It's heat-proof silicone, so it survives the dryer if it ends up in a load, and it goes through the wash to clean itself.

Where do Sensitive Laundry Sheets go?

In the drum, before you add clothes, and never in the detergent drawer. Sensitive Laundry Sheets need direct contact with water and tumbling clothes to dissolve and spread evenly. They're perforated, so half a sheet tears off cleanly for a small load.

⚠ Drum first, then clothes

Place Sensitive Laundry Sheets in the drum before adding clothes. Don't put them in the detergent drawer. Sheets need direct contact with water and tumbling clothes to dissolve and spread evenly.

Drum only Before adding clothes

Does a bigger machine need more detergent?

Dose to the weight of the load, not the size of the machine. A half-full 10 kg machine holds about 5 kg, which is a normal load: 24 mL (6 pumps) or 1 sheet. In an 8 to 10 kg machine, only use the large dose for a genuinely full, heavily soiled load.

✓ A half-full 10 kg machine holds about 5 kg of clothes, which is a normal load.

✓ In an 8 to 10 kg machine, only use the large dose for a genuinely full, heavily soiled load.

✓ In a compact 2 to 4 kg machine, pre-treat stubborn stains with Stain Remover rather than doubling the dose.

✓ In an 11 kg or bigger machine, the large dose is typical when it's fully loaded. Run two standard loads rather than going above it.
