Abstract

A container containing a predetermined quantity of incompatible detergent compositions is introduced into the drum of a machine for washing laundry. The container comprises compartments which separately receive the constituents of the detergent compositions which are mutually incompatible, for example, the constituents which release active oxygen or chlorine and the remainder of the detergent compositions are separated. Each of the compartments has openings for permitting its contents to diffuse into the washing machine during the washing process.
