Abstract: A process for washing laundry in a washing machine employs a receptacle for dispensing a detergent tablet. The receptacle is substantially rigid and includes a number of apertures which have an average dimension equivalent to a mesh size of between 1 and 10 mm. A solid detergent in the form of a tablet is placed in the dispensing receptacle, the latter then being placed into a washing machine along with laundry to be washed and a washing operation is carried out. After the washing operation, the device is removed from the machine and stored for subsequent use. Moreover, the invention relates to a dispensing device for carrying out this process.

Abstract: A cap (1) for a container (2) housing a consumer product, comprising a device (7, 11) capable of diffusing a volatile substance inside said container, said device being formed of a cap liner element (8, 12) carrying the volatile substance and of a barrier element (10, 14) lodged between the cap liner element and the interior of the container, wherein said barrier element is formed of a membrane permeable to the vapors of the volatile substance and impermeable to the consumer product, so as to enable molecular diffusion of the volatile substance's vapors inside the closed container, so as to enable molecular diffusion of the volatile substance's vapors into the headspace above the consumer product when the container is closed.

Abstract: An improved method and/or process for preparing and handling formulations useful in metal treatment baths which includes packaging formulations useful in preparing and/or replenishing aqueous-based baths in water soluble pouches or containers. The present invention includes the selection of components effective in treating metallic surfaces, which may be blended and effectively stored in containers or pouches consisting of polyvinylalcohol film. The present invention reduces the necessity or frequency of personal hand contact by workers with these blends.

Abstract: A process for washing laundry in a washing machine employs a receptacle for dispensing detergent tablets.
