The retrofittable sensor unit can be arranged separately from the dosing device.

Retrofittable sensor unit for controlling a dosing device

A method for the dosing of cleaning agents in cleaning machines, including the steps: receiving control information items, wherein the control information items are dependent on information about a cleaning machine; determining the progress of a cleaning operation; dosing of cleaning agent depending on the received control information items and the determined progress of the cleaning operation; wherein the information about the cleaning machine can be determined via a sensor-based automatic recognition.

Method for the dosing of cleaning agents

A method performed by one or more devices is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a geometry information item representative of a spatial location of a plurality of points of a surface of a textile (), determining at least one treatment parameter for treating the textile () at least partially based on a geometry information item, and outputting or triggering an output of the at least one treatment parameter.

Determination of treatment parameters via a geometry information item of a textile

The present disclosure relates to a method for washing laundry of a laundry load, in particular in a washing drum (B), carried out by at least one device (). In one example, the method includes generating steam and applying the steam to the laundry of the laundry load; producing a microemulsion by employing a detergent composition; and washing the laundry of the laundry load using a first wash liquor based on the microemulsion.

Method for washing laundry of a wash load

The disclosure relates to a method including capturing and/or obtaining a reservoir information item at a dispensing module for a detergent and/or cleaning agent, with the reservoir information item representative of at least one property of a reservoir for the detergent and/or cleaning agent, an application specification for the detergent and/or cleaning agent contained in the reservoir, and/or a property of the detergent and/or cleaning agent contained in the reservoir, and the reservoir is connected or connectable to the dispensing module. The method further includes determining and/or causing the determination of a dispensing control information item depending at least in part on the reservoir information item, with the dispensing control information item configured to at least partly control the dispensing of the detergent and/or cleaning agent by the dispensing module.

Dosing method for a dispensing module

A method is provided for monitoring a supply of a cleaning agent. The method includes performing a check of whether the supply of the cleaning agent is likely to be used up. The check is based, at least in part, on quantity information which is representative of an amount of the cleaning agent in a user's supply and on consumption information which is indicative of the user's expected consumption behavior with respect to the cleaning agent. Further, a device is provided for performing the method for monitoring the supply of the cleaning agent.

Method and device for monitoring supply

A method for fragrancing and/or deodorizing a cleaning appliance is disclosed. The method involves capturing first information or obtaining captured first information indicative of an odor load in the interior of the cleaning appliance, producing fragrancing and/or deodorizing information based at least in part on the captured or obtained first information or outputting the captured first information in order to produce fragrancing and/or deodorizing information of this type, and initiating fragrancing and/or deodorization by employing at least one actuator for releasing a fragrancing and/or deodorizing agent based on the fragrancing and/or deodorizing information produced. A corresponding dosing device, a device for carrying out and/or controlling the method, and a system with one or more devices for carrying out and/or controlling the method are also disclosed.

Fragrancing and/or deodorizing a cleaning appliance

The present disclosure relates to a method and to a textile piece device which allows storing and/or monitoring the load on a textile piece during one or more treatment cycles.

Detection and/or monitoring of the load on a textile piece during a treatment cycle

The present disclosure relates in particular to a device comprising a flushing device () and a sensor device (), wherein the flushing device () is designed to receive or contain a cleaning agent, and wherein the flushing device () and the sensor device () are or can be integrated into a cleaning device (). According to the present disclosure, the sensor device () is designed to determine a quantity information that is representative of the amount of cleaning agent filled into the flushing device ().

Flushing compartment for storage monitoring

The present disclosure especially relates to a method, carried out by one or more devices, said method comprising: non-destructively determining structural information that is characteristic of at least part of the structure of a textile (); ascertaining at least one treatment parameter of the textile () at least partly on the basis of said structural information; and outputting or initiating output of the at least one treatment parameter.

Method for ascertaining treatment parameters of a textile by means of structural information

A system for dosing substances such as cleaning and/or care agents is disclosed. The system includes a dosing device, at least one energy source, a control unit, a sensor unit, and at least two cartridges for respectively accommodating at least one of the cleaning and/or care agents. The at least two cartridges are capable of being coupled to the dosing device.

Dosing device for a cleaning machine

The present disclosure relates inter alia to a method which is carried out by at least one device, the method comprising: illuminating () at least some of the items of laundry which are located in a laundry container () of a washing machine () and are to be subjected to a washing process; determining () color information indicative of one or more colors of at least some of the illuminated items of laundry () which are located in the laundry container () of the washing machine (); and checking (), at least partially based upon the determined color information, whether a potentially undesirable item of laundry () is located in the laundry container () of the washing machine ().

Checking for potentially undesirable items of laundry

A method for the dosing of cleaning agents in cleaning machines includes the steps: receiving the control information items; wherein the control information items are dependent on an information item about a cleaning machine; determining the progress of a cleaning operation; dosing of cleaning agent depending on the received control information items and the determined progress of the cleaning operation; wherein the information item about the cleaning machine can be manually input via a user interface.
