Use the amount on the packaging for your machine size, water hardness and heavy soiling for your main wash. Use one-third (1/3) of the suggested main wash dose if prewashing daily or half (1/2) the dose if prewashing every second day.
Increase if there is additional soiling (such as hard water, multiple children in cloth or older children) or if items are not coming out clean.
Add more detergent until you see sufficient suds in the wash phase of the cycle. View our loading videos for guidance.
