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 process for washing laundry in a washing machine employs a receptacle for dispensing detergent tablets. The receptacle comprises a loosely fitting net bag having apertures with an average mesh size of between 1 and 10 mm. One or more tablets are placed in the dispensing receptacle before being placed into a washing machine along with laundry to be washed and a washing operation is carried. 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 and a use of the device in laundry washing.
