How do the two pumps compare?

Both pumps are 500 mL HDPE bottles with metal-spring actuators, calibrated to dispense 4 mL per press. Dish Pump is purpose-built for Dishwashing Liquid with a green soft-touch matte finish and a non-slip base. Laundry Pump is purpose-built for Sensitive Laundry Liquid in pink, but the dosing mechanism is identical, so it works as a backup if your Dish Pump is in the wash or you have a spare.

How should I dose each one?

Both pumps deliver 4 mL per press. For dishes, one to two presses is usually enough for a sink of dishes. For laundry, 4 presses (16 mL) is recommended for a normal load and 6 presses (24 mL) for heavily soiled or large loads. Adjust based on load size, soil level, and garment care instructions.

What should I fill each pump with?

Dish Pump pairs with Dishwashing Liquid. The concentrated formula is tough on grease and the dosing mechanism is calibrated for the formula viscosity. Laundry Pump pairs with Sensitive Laundry Liquid. SLL holds current Dermatest and Sensitive Choice certifications, is suitable for sensitive skin, and is septic and greywater safe. Avoid using SLL on wool, silk, or other animal fibres due to protease enzymes.
