Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1728912A1] A non-intrusive device (1) for automatically dispensing at least one liquid laundry care composition to an automatic laundry washing machine (6), the device (1) being located along the water supply feed to the washing machine (6) with incoming (2,4) and outgoing (12,14) water supply hoses connected to the device (1). The device employs a Venturi tube mechanism or a pump to dose the laundry detergent care composition. The dosing is either manually controlled or controlled by a machine-generic algorithm capable of determining the actual cycle at any duration of wash for various cycle designs from various washing machines, without the input of precise cycle design; and dose the correct products correctly and is capable of distinguishing between major water addition and a water pulse.
