Abstract

The device incorporates a body (41) and a cover-assembly (42). The latter has vents (47) and can be screwed onto the body (41). In use, with the cover (42) removed, the body (41) is filled through the opening (44) with liquid detergent up to the chosen level A or B. The cover (42) is then fixed and then the device is introduced into the drum of the machine where the linen is already present. During washing, the detergent is gradually distributed outwards by passing through the vents (47).
