Abstract: A method for dispensing a liquid or pasty cleaning agent and a liquid or pasty bleaching agent into a wash tub of a household dishwasher that includes a housing and a dispensing system disposed in the housing. The dispensing system separately stores and discharges the cleaning agent and bleaching agent. The method includes providing the dispensing system with respective reservoirs for each of the cleaning agent and the bleaching agent that have different capacities from each other. Each of the capacities are larger than needed for a single wash cycle. A first quantity of the cleaning agent and a second quantity of the bleaching agent are dispensed during a wash cycle, and the ratio of the dispensed quantities corresponds to the ratio of the capacities of the respective reservoirs.

Abstract: A method for carrying out a dishwashing cycle in a household dishwasher includes performing a wash step and dispensing an amount of a combination product from a dispenser during the wash step. The combination product includes a rinse agent and a cleaning agent. The method also includes performing a rinse step and dispensing an amount of the combination product from the dispenser during the rinse step.

Abstract: A method for performing wash cycles in a dishwasher comprising factory includes presetting the dishwasher to an adapted wash cycle as a default cycle, the adopted wash cycle being adapted to a combination product including a detergent agent and at least one of a water-softening agent and a rinse agent. A wash cycle is selected using a control element. Using a cycle controller, the adapted wash cycle is performed until a filling of at least one reservoir with a rinse aid or a water softener salt. Using the cycle controller, a predetermined number of standard wash cycles are performed after the filling of the at least one reservoir.

Abstract: Use of moldings with length·width·height dimensions respectively in the range from 1 mm to 3 cm as dust binders in vacuum cleaners, where the molding(s) has/have been produced from chemically untreated open-cell foam whose density is in the range from 5 to 500 kg/m3 and whose average pore diameter is in the range from 1 ?m to 1 mm.

Abstract: Use of moldings whose length·width·height dimensions are always in the range from 1 mm to 5 cm, produced by treatment of (a) open-cell foam whose density is in the range from 5 to 500 kg/m3 and whose average pore diameter is in the range from 1 ?m to 1 mm (b) with an aqueous formulation of at least one cationic polymer (c) and a shaping step, as dust binders in vacuum cleaners.

Abstract: Use of moldings whose length width height dimensions are always in the range from 1 mm to 3 cm, at least one dimension being greater than 5.5 mm, produced by treatment of (a) open-cell foam whose density is in the range from 5 to 500 kg/m3 and whose average pore diameter is in the range from 1 ?m to 1 mm (b) with an aqueous formulation of at least one compound having at least one hemiaminal or aminal group per molecule or at least one copolymer containing at least one copolymerized comonomer which contains OH groups or which contains ?-dicarbonyl groups, or which contains epoxy groups, (c) and a shaping step, as dust binders in vacuum cleaners.

Abstract: A device for separating dust from dust-laden air. The device includes a first cyclone separator having an inlet portion with a tangential inlet. An axial inlet cyclone separator is disposed downstream of the first cyclone separator. The axial inlet cyclone separator has an air inlet disposed within the first cyclone separator. The axial air inlet includes a widening tubular section in the shape of a funnel extending into the inlet portion of the first cyclone separator.

Abstract: A method for treating dust including: separating, in a vacuum cleaner, the dust into at least two fractions which differ in at least one of a size and a mass of particles of the dust; and adding a dust-binding agent to at least a first of the fraction.
