Is Sensitive Laundry Liquid suitable for whites and colours?Updated 10 days ago

TL;DR: Sensitive Laundry Liquid handles whites, colours and mixed loads on the same dose, so there is one box in the laundry rather than three. It is suitable for colourfast fabrics, and its surfactants hold soil in the wash water so it does not settle back onto whites. ⚠ Keep it away from wool, silk, cashmere, alpaca and other animal fibres.

Is Sensitive Laundry Liquid suitable for whites and colours?

Koh Sensitive Laundry Liquid washes whites, colours and mixed loads on the same dose. It is suitable for colourfast fabrics, and the formula has no chlorine bleach, no oxygen bleach and no optical brighteners. A normal load takes 24 mL, which is 6 pumps, whichever kind of wash it is. Spot test on an inside seam where you do not know how a dye will behave.

✓ One formula, one dose

Whites, colours and mixed loads all take the same dose of Sensitive Laundry Liquid. A normal load takes 24 mL, which is 6 pumps. Small or lightly soiled loads take 16 mL, and large or heavily soiled loads take 40 mL.

✓ Suitable for colourfast fabrics

The formula has no chlorine bleach, no oxygen bleach and no optical brighteners. Its surfactants hold soil in the wash water so it rinses away rather than settling back onto whites. Where you do not know how a dye will behave, spot test on an inside seam first.

Which fabrics should I keep it away from?

Keep Koh Sensitive Laundry Liquid away from wool, silk, cashmere, alpaca and other animal fibres, whatever colour they are. The enzymes in the formula break down protein fibres, and those are protein fibres. Hand wash them with a detergent made for wool and silk instead. Cotton, linen blends and everyday synthetics are all fine in the machine.

⚠ Not for wool, silk or other animal fibres

The enzymes in Sensitive Laundry Liquid break down protein fibres, whatever colour the garment is. Keep it away from wool, silk, cashmere, alpaca and other animal fibres. Hand wash those with a detergent made for wool and silk instead.

How do I handle a mixed load?

Follow the garment care label first. Wash new dark items on their own for the first few washes, because most dye loss happens early. Use cool or warm water rather than hot, which suits the enzymes and avoids setting protein marks. A normal mixed load takes 24 mL of Koh Sensitive Laundry Liquid, which is 6 pumps.
