How to Use OhSo Bright Laundry Detergent Paste

OhSo Bright Laundry Detergent Paste is a concentrated 3-in-1 laundry detergent designed to clean, brighten and soften clothes using a small amount of product per wash.

Suitable for hand washing and top-loader washing machines, OhSo Bright Laundry Paste works in cold and warm water and helps remove everyday dirt and stains from white and coloured clothing.

The secret to getting the best results is using the correct dosage.

For a standard 3kg to 4kg wash load, use only 20g of OhSo Bright Laundry Paste.

How Much OhSo Bright Laundry Paste Should You Use?

Because OhSo Bright is concentrated, you need less detergent for each wash than many conventional laundry products.

Follow these recommended dosages:

Washing method Laundry load Recommended dosage
Hand washing 10 litres of water 20g
Top-loader washing machine 3kg to 4kg 20g
Top-loader washing machine 6kg to 8kg 40g

A 20g portion is approximately one tablespoon, although measuring by weight gives the most accurate dosage.

Using too much laundry paste does not necessarily improve cleaning performance. Correct dosing helps prevent detergent waste and makes rinsing easier.

How to Hand Wash Clothes With OhSo Bright Laundry Paste

OhSo Bright Laundry Paste is well suited to hand washing. The concentrated formula dissolves in water and produces foam to help remove everyday dirt and stains.

Step-by-Step Hand Washing Instructions

  1. Fill a bucket or basin with approximately 10 litres of clean water.

  2. Add 20g of OhSo Bright Laundry Paste.

  3. Stir the water until the paste dissolves and foam forms.

  4. Separate white, bright and dark clothing before washing.

  5. Add your laundry and wash as normal.

  6. Gently rub areas with visible dirt or stains.

  7. Rinse clothes thoroughly with clean water.

  8. Dry your laundry according to the garment care label.

For stubborn marks on collars, cuffs and school uniforms, apply a small amount of laundry paste directly to the affected area before washing.

OhSo Bright is a practical choice for washing school uniforms, everyday clothing, towels, linen and workwear.

How to Remove Stains With Laundry Paste

OhSo Bright Laundry Paste is also useful for pre-treating everyday laundry stains before washing.

How to Pre-Treat Stains

  2. Apply a small amount of OhSo Bright Laundry Paste directly to the mark.

  3. Rub gently into the fabric.

Always test stain treatment on an inconspicuous part of delicate or colour-sensitive fabric first.

Why Correct Laundry Paste Dosage Matters

Traditional washing powders and concentrated detergent pastes have different dosage requirements.

OhSo Bright Laundry Paste is designed to deliver cleaning performance using a relatively small amount of concentrated product.

Correct dosage provides several benefits:

  • Reduces unnecessary detergent consumption.

  • Helps avoid excess detergent residue.

  • Supports effective rinsing.

  • Helps control laundry costs.

  • Makes each pack last longer.

How Many Washes Do You Get From OhSo Bright Laundry Paste?

At the recommended 20g dosage per standard wash:

Pack size Standard washes
100g 5
200g 10
480g 24
1kg 50
5kg 250

Actual product consumption depends on the size of the washing load and the amount of detergent used.

The concentrated formula gives customers a convenient way to manage their detergent usage and calculate their cost per wash.
