Abstract: A dosing and dispensing device for liquid detergent has a hollow body and a dispenser. The hollow body has an opening for receiving liquid detergent. The dispenser spreads the liquid detergent onto a fabric to pretreat the fabric. The dispenser has a cavity and a ball positioned within the cavity. The cavity has a mouth, lips, and an orifice. The ball is retained by the lips and communicates with the orifice. The diameter of the mouth is at least slightly smaller than the diameter of the ball such that the ball protrudes partly outside of the mouth. In addition, the ball rotates freely in all directions within the cavity.
