In particular, a method performed by one or more devices is disclosed, the method comprising: obtaining an intensity information item representative of a spectral image resulting from a soiling of a textile and/or from at least one part of a textile; determining at least one output variable dependent on the soiling of the textile and/or at least one property of the textile from the intensity information item, wherein the output variable is determined by employing an adaptive evaluation algorithm, in particular an artificial neural network, wherein parameters of the adaptive evaluation algorithm are calibrated based on a plurality of training cases; outputting or triggering outputting of the at least one output variable. Furthermore, a device and a system for performing the subject method is disclosed.

A clothing treatment apparatus including a housing, a water-containing assembly and a sprinkling assembly that are arranged in the housing. The water-containing assembly has a water tank and a siphon member arranged in the water tank, the siphon member is connected to the sprinkling assembly through a first delivery pipeline, the siphon member is configured to suck out water in the water tank by siphoning, and the sprinkling assembly is configured to perform sprinkling washing on the clothing.

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 (52), determining at least one treatment parameter for treating the textile (52) at least partially based on a geometry information item, and outputting or triggering an output of the at least one treatment parameter.

A system of washing and drying a reusable diaper including a housing defining a wash cavity configured to drain into a toilet bowl, reservoirs for water and detergent, a rack to retain the reusable diaper, a spray nozzle oriented toward the rack. Additionally, the system includes a brush head configured to dislodge waste, a fluid distribution system configured to distribute water from a water supply and detergent from the detergent reservoir, onto the reusable diaper via the spray nozzle, and a drying element configured to dry the reusable diaper retained on the rack. The system can include various configurations of frames to support the housing and allow access to a household water supply.

A laundry treatment agent storage and dispensing device comprises a storage device and a dispensing device which are integrally arranged. A storage cavity or box stores laundry treatment agent. The dispensing device has a hollow cavity, and a flexible separator is hermetically installed in the hollow cavity to divide the hollow cavity into a water inlet cavity and a liquid storage cavity. The liquid storage cavity has a liquid inlet end and a liquid outlet end; the liquid inlet end communicates with the storage cavity or box. Inlet water of the washing machine flows into/out of the water inlet cavity, the flexible separator is squeezed to deform towards the liquid storage cavity to enable the laundry treatment agent accommodated in the liquid storage cavity to be discharged through the liquid outlet end. The laundry treatment agent is stored and automatically dispensed by the storage device and the dispensing device.

The present disclosure relates to a laundry treating apparatus, including a tub provided inside a main body and a drum rotatably provided inside the tub; and a detergent supply apparatus provided to be inserted into or withdrawn from a front surface of the main body, and configured to supply laundry detergent to the tub, wherein the detergent supply apparatus includes a laundry detergent input pipe that allows laundry detergent being moved by the laundry detergent pump to pass through an upper portion of the wash water dispenser so as to flow into the housing through the wash water dispenser.

Provided are a washing apparatus that is capable of being operated in an Internet of Things (IoT) environment over a 5G communication network and estimating additional laundry that is introduced and the amount of detergent that is additionally introduced based thereon through a neural network model generated based on machine learning, and a method of controlling the same.

A computer-implemented method for creating a bespoke laundry treatment recipe includes receiving fabric data related to one or more of stain identity, fabric identity, user requirements and user preference; comparing by means of a data processing system said input data with ingredient combination data stored on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, and formulating one or more laundry treatment recipes, said recipes being bespoke to the user input data; wherein said ingredient combination data comprises: multiple ingredient composition data; multiple combinations of said ingredient compositions; and multiple treatment (e.g. stain) categories related to said ingredient composition combinations.

A device for use in a household appliance is disclosed, the device comprising: at least one casing, wherein the casing is configured to be placed in a treatment chamber of a household appliance; wherein the casing comprises at least one output module, which is configured to dispense at least one preparation into the treatment chamber of the household appliance and/or to trigger an output; and at least one sensor module, which is configured to determine sensor data characteristic of the condition of the treatment chamber of the household appliance and/or of the device; wherein the sensor module comprises at least one sensor, wherein the sensor data at least partially represents information determined by employing the at least one sensor; wherein the data determined by sensor is at least partially indicative of a load condition of the treatment chamber of the household appliance.

A method of operating a laundry treating appliance having a tub, a rotatable drum at least partially defining a treating chamber, and a treating chemistry dispenser comprising multiple treating chemistry cups configured to dispense treating chemistry to the treating chamber. The method comprises performing a first wash cycle and dispensing a first dose of treating chemistry from one of the treating chemistry cups, receiving at a controller a user selection of an activation of a performance enhancement selector, and upon activation of the performance enhancement selector, activating a second wash cycle comprising dispensing a second dose of treating chemistry from another of treating chemistry cups.
