Example embodiments provide a dishwasher comprising a tub; a door configured for selectively sealing a forward access opening of the tub; a detergent dispenser located at an inner surface of the door; a spray arm mounted within the tub such that the spray arm is adjustable between a first height and a second height, the spray arm comprising a spray detergent nozzle; and a circulation pump configured to supply washing liquid to the spray arm. The dishwasher is characterized in that the spray arm is configured to emit a fan-shaped jet from the spray detergent nozzle when the washing liquid is supplied to the spray arm and the spray arm is configured to emit the fan-shaped jet that is incident upon the detergent dispenser both when the spray arm is positioned at the first height and when the spray arm is positioned at the second height.

The present disclosure relates to a method, performed by at least one apparatus (2, 4, 6, 8), the method comprising: obtaining (22) from a user cleaning related information, and determining (42) a composition or a part thereof for an individualized cleaning agent to be produced based on the obtained cleaning related information. The present disclosure also relates to an apparatus, a system, a computer program code and a computer readable storage medium.

The present invention relates to a ceramic ball having a detergent function and a method for manufacturing a ceramic ball, which can improve washing capacity since the ceramic ball is molded such that the surface area coming into contact with water gets wider, and can improve production efficiency and reduce the manufacturing cost since it is possible to manufacture ceramic balls continuously and automatically.

A system (10) includes a support structure (20) associable with a bottom wall (BW) of a washing tub (WT) of a washing machine (WM). The system further includes a container body (22) having a receptacle (14) configured for receiving a quantity of washing agent. The container body (22) has an opening (24) leading into the receptacle (14). The container body (22) is mountable on the support structure (20) in the washing tub (WT). The container body (22) is configured for being reversibly brought by a user into a retracted condition and an extracted condition. In the retracted condition, the container body (22) is inserted in the support structure (20). In the extracted condition, the container body (22) is removed and separate from the support structure (20). The system (10) includes a closure element (16) configured for closing the opening (24).

A household appliance for treating at least one item according to at least one cycle of operation includes a treating chemistry dispenser receiving a unit dose container and having a door moveable between an opened position and a closed position, a piercing mechanism located proximate to the treating chemistry dispenser and having a piercer that is moveable between a non-piercing position and a piercing position where the piercer is moved to perforate a unit dose container received within the treating chemistry dispenser.
