Nevermind. I went ahead and used it on a load. The pump dispenses a very small amount. They should have just changed the functionality of the pump so that it dispenses more, i.e. one pump would equal the two that it takes now and two pumps would equal the four. Just to clarify the suggested doasage is 2 pumps for small loads, 4 for reg/normal and 6 for large.
Four squirts appears to be a tablespoon and a half.

Dosing is easier with more measurement granularity ... smaller squirts. For a very small load, it's easier to do one squirt than half a squirt. Same for measuring powders ... easier to use, for example, a 1 oz. scoop that can quickly be filled, leveled, and tossed in the machine a few times than an 8 oz measuring cup with markings that'd have to be eyeballed.

I use only 2 or 4 pumps in my machine (9yr old Frigidaire Gallery) and find it plenty.

How did you like your finished load done with the new Method?

I find it cleans well and colors seem to look great. I have to use half unscented with half scented to get a scent that's not too overwhelming for me.

Which scent did you try? Did you like it?

I mentioned on another thread that they have a new Sweet Pea scent available at Toys R Us right now. IÂm sure it will "roll out" to more retailers soon.

I finished one bottle and the other is almost empty too.
I use 8 pumps in my 4.00 fl and 6 pumps in 1.75(5 kg)fl.
Anything less is not enough. I started with much more, went down to recommended dose but had to go up in order to get results. The scent is non existent after the laundry is done. It seem to clean well, but Pesrsil is still better.
One of the pumps did not work as good as the other bottle, so the dosage was not as should be. I will not buy it again. I liked the pump idea but it's not worth it.

@livebetter, I didnt notice the cleaning to be better or worse for that matter.
- I brought the "fresh air" scent. The scent was non-existent after the wash as if the detergent was scent free.
- The clothes did seem "light" though, not heavy...if that makes any sense.
- I simply love the idea and ease of the pump dispenser!!
I cannot bring myself to pay the high amount for Persil when Gain/Tide has done the trick for 3+ yrs in my FL.
I have only done one load w/Method, but I will keep you all posted on what I think. Thanks

4 squirts is not enough for normal loads. 6 squirts reccommended for large loads, but I find that it does the trick for normal loads. Honestly I dont think I will buy it again.

Just another mystery to me (kinda' like mildew) ... I really like the Method. I find it cleans well (with only 3 pumps in my Frigidaire Gallery). 2 pumps for a small load.

If I use more I get too many suds.

Maybe you have much larger loads than me? Maybe my clothes are not very dirty? Maybe itÂs machine related?

I still have plenty of fragrance (for my liking) left when dry. I use half scented and half unscented. Everything is soft, clean and lightly fragranced. I use Persil Sensitive and it is good too but I like Method also (and I donÂt like that many detergents).

It seems to be getting great reviews on some of the retail sites.

Water chemistry has everything to do with the amount of detergent used and the quality of results achieved, yet people rarely pay attention to this very important factor. Most washing machine user manuals dumb things down by saying to use the detergent manufacturer's recommendation, and Asko should get kudos for not treating consumers like idiots. Asko includes a discussion about water hardness in the user manuals for both its 6 kg and XXL machines. In fact, the 6 kg machine manuals have a table with different doses depending on your hardness levels. The XXL machine (4.55 cuft IEC) recommends 2-3 TBS in soft water conditions.

It's very simple to determine your water hardness. Check your water provider's web site for a water quality report, and look for hardness, TDS (total dissolved solids), or grains. This will give you a good ballpark on where to start with detergent dosing. People didn't worry about this much with top loaders due to the amount of water involved and agitation that didn't cause too much sudsing. With front load machines, however, the quantity of water is significantly reduced and the tumbling action can quickly cause a large amount of suds to form.

If you have soft water, you can probably cut most detergent manufacturers' recommendations by 50-75%. What you read on the box is a "one size fits all" strategy which presumes hard water conditions.
