The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of smart homes, and particularly relates to a detergent recommendation method and equipment. The detergent recommendation method of the present disclosure includes: obtaining usage numbers respectively corresponding to various types of washing programs used by a user where the various types of washing programs respectively correspond to different types of detergents, selecting N types of washing programs with a maximum usage number from various types of washing programs according to the usage numbers, and pushing a prompt information of detergents respectively corresponding to the N types of the washing programs to the user, and can preferentially recommend the detergent suitable for the washing program with higher operating frequency to the user based on the usage number of the user using different washing programs.

A laundry washing machine having a cabinet, a washing tub housed inside the cabinet, a drum rotatably housed inside the cabinet, an electric additive treating device mounted in/on the drum and configured for treating a washing and/or rinsing additive loaded within the drum in such a way to generate within the drum a solution of washing and/or rinsing additive water. A method for operating such a laundry washing machine is also provided.

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.

A laundry treatment composition supply system to supply laundry treatment composition to multiple washing machines. The system can include a first supply container and a second supply container. Each of the supply containers can be operably engaged with a level sensor. Upon a low liquid level signal from a sensor associated with a container, a controller system can switch supply of the laundry treatment composition from the container having a low level to another container. The laundry treatment composition can be pumped from one supply container or the other supply container.
