How much Koh laundry detergent should I use?Updated 4 hours 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 do I measure Sensitive Laundry Liquid?
Pick either tool based on how you like to dose. Laundry Pump is faster for daily use and dispenses directly into your drawer. Laundry Dosing Cup is precise and pairs well with Laundry Pump for pre-measuring exact volumes.
Each full pump dispenses 4 mL. Pour Sensitive Laundry Liquid from the bag-in-box into the pump bottle. Pump directly into the detergent compartment or into Laundry Dosing Cup.
Fill to the 24 mL marker for a normal load, or the 40 mL marker for a large or heavily soiled load. Heat-proof silicone, safe if it ends up in the dryer. Can go in the wash to clean itself.
What are the full Sensitive Laundry Liquid doses?
✓ Small load
16 mL (4 pumps). Use for a small or lightly soiled load. Start here and adjust only if needed.
✓ Normal load
24 mL (6 pumps). Recommended for a normal load in most 5 to 8 kg machines. Fill Laundry Dosing Cup to the 24 mL marker.
✓ Large or heavily soiled
40 mL (10 pumps). For large or very dirty loads in 7 to 12 kg machines. Fill Laundry Dosing Cup to the 40 mL marker.
✓ Hand wash
16 mL (4 pumps) in 5 litres of water. Rinse well after washing.
What are the full Sensitive Laundry Sheets doses?
✓ Small load
Half a sheet. Sensitive Laundry Sheets are perforated for easy splitting. Place in the drum before adding clothes.
✓ Normal load
1 sheet. Standard dose for a normal load in 5 to 8 kg machines. Place in the drum before adding clothes.
✓ Large or heavily soiled
2 sheets. For large or very dirty loads in 7 to 12 kg machines. Avoid overdosing in small drums.
✓ Hand wash
Half a sheet dissolved in 5 litres of warm water. Rinse well.
How do I dose by washer capacity?
Dose based on load size, not your machine's maximum capacity. A half-full 10 kg machine is still a small load.
✓ 2 to 4 kg compact
Standard doses work. For stubborn stains, pre-treat with Stain Remover rather than doubling the detergent dose.
✓ 5 to 7 kg small to medium
The most common household size. Standard doses are calibrated for this range.
✓ 8 to 10 kg large
Family-size machines. Only use the large dose for a genuinely full, heavily soiled load. A half-full 10 kg machine still gets the normal dose.
✓ 11 kg+ extra large
Commercial or family-plus machines. The large dose is typical when fully loaded. Run multiple standard-dose loads rather than aggressively up-dosing.
✓ Good to know
✓ One full pump of Sensitive Laundry Liquid = 4 mL
✓ Laundry Dosing Cup has marked lines at 24 mL and 40 mL on the inside
✓ Pre-treat heavy spots with Stain Remover instead of increasing the whole load's dose
⚠ Sheets placement
Always place Sensitive Laundry Sheets in the drum first, before adding clothes. Don't place them in the detergent drawer. Sheets need direct contact with water and tumbling clothes to dissolve and distribute evenly.
