A Bosch washing machine, likely a Serie 6 model, with a bottle of blue liquid detergent being poured into its dispenser drawer.

Until now you might have guessed how much laundry detergent to use for perfectly clean laundry. Don t worry, this is not surprising! There are quite a few things that need to be taken into account to achieve good washing results. You find the washing instructions on how much detergent to use for perfectly clean laundry at the back of the detergent bottle. To give you some advice, we have prepared a few tips.

The correct detergent amount is based on these criterias:

The washing load.

The washing load is measured in weight. For a larger load of laundry, you usually require more laundry detergent than for smaller laundry loads. Please follow the instructions at the back of your detergent bottle. You can use your washing detergent cap as a dosing device. Make sure you get the dose right for your washing load. Generally a front load washing machine needs 35 ml of liquid for a normal soiling degree.

The degree of soiling.

Clothes with many stains or hard-to-remove stains require more laundry detergent to become perfectly clean, than clothes which were worn but are not dirty. With some stains, you might even need to pre-treat them before washing. For example soak them in soapy water or add some stain removal liquid.
