You should probably go for about a teaspoon (some people use up to a tablespoon for a wash) and then dump it out. It is semi-wasteful if you don't do something with it, but that is the only way to get a good wash. One other option, I don't agree with since it makes things too volatile, would be to buy a cheap atomizer/spray bottle (they look like plastic cologne bottles) and give each glass a few hits.
