Can I use a different dispenser with Dishwashing Liquid?Updated 2 days ago
TL;DR: Laundry Pump dispenses the same 4 mL per press as Dish Pump, so it works as a backup for dispensing Dishwashing Liquid.
Can I use a different dispenser with Dishwashing Liquid?
✓ The short answer
Dish Pump is the one purpose-built for Dishwashing Liquid, but Laundry Pump dispenses the same 4 mL per press, so it backs it up if your Dish Pump is in the wash or you have a spare on hand.
How do the two pumps compare?
✓ Dish Pump
Purpose-built dispenser for Dishwashing Liquid. Soft-touch matte finish.
✓ Laundry Pump as a backup
Purpose-built for Sensitive Laundry Liquid, and it dispenses the same 4 mL per press, so it backs up Dishwashing Liquid too.
How should I dose each one?
✓ Dosing guide
Both pumps dispense about 4 mL per press. For dishes, a press or two is usually plenty for a sink, so pump a little at a time. For laundry, use 6 pumps, about 24 mL, for a normal load, or 10 pumps, about 40 mL, for large or heavily soiled loads.
What should I fill each pump with?
Pair with Dishwashing Liquid
Bio enzyme formula cuts through grease on contact while being gentle on you.
Or pair with Sensitive Laundry Liquid
A more powerful, sensitive skin safe laundry liquid – now delivering better performance at better value.
⚠ Wool and other untreated protein fibres
The enzymes in Sensitive Laundry Liquid can break down protein fibres, so wool and other untreated protein fibres need a different cleaner. Wash those by hand with a wool and silk specific detergent instead.
⚠ If you're on a septic or greywater system
Sensitive Laundry Liquid is septic compatible when used as directed. It contains no chlorine, no phosphates and is low in sodium, so it won't harm the beneficial microbes your treatment system relies on. Three rules apply: use only as directed, never pour undiluted product into a septic or greywater system, and avoid excessive use.
