In general, use 1/2 - 1% solution in hot water wash cycle (1 1/4 - 2 1/2 Tbsp. per gal., 3/4 - 1 1/4 oz. per gal. or 5-10 ml per liter--most machines need 2 1/2 oz. added at a typical 2 gal. wash cycle). For soak, circulate or ultrasonic use, make a 1% solution in cold, warm or hot water. For difficult soils, raise water temperature and use more detergent. Wear protective gloves and eyewear when handling. RINSE THOROUGHLY--preferably with running water. For critical cleaning, do final or all rinsing in distilled, deionized or purified water.
