A dishwasher for treating dishes according to a cycle of operation, the dishwasher comprising a tub at least partially defining a treating chamber, a dish rack received within the treating chamber and configured for receiving dishes for treatment during the cycle of operation, a sprayer located within the treating chamber and above the dish rack, and emitting a liquid onto the dish rack to form a high-speed spray.

A dishwasher for treating dishes according to a cycle of operation, the dishwasher comprising a tub at least partially defining a treating chamber, a dish rack received within the treating chamber and configured for receiving dishes for treatment during the cycle of operation, a sprayer located within the treating chamber and above the dish rack, and emitting a second liquid at a second speed, greater than the first speed, downwardly onto the dish rack to form a high-speed spray.

A cleaning, sanitizing or disinfecting scrubbing device includes a body, a non-thermal plasma generator and damp wipe. Generated plasma activates fluid in the wipe. The device may include spacer posts between the body and wipe and a conductive mesh between the body and wipe or embedded in the wipe. Another embodiment includes a reservoir for holding a water-based fluid, a fluid delivery element connected to the reservoir by a tube through which the fluid can flow and a non-thermal plasma geneator. The non-thermal plasma generator activates the fluid. In one embodiment the scrubbing device is a mitt. In another embodiment the scrubbing device is a glove.

A treadable mat comprises at least one sanitisation portion (10; 110) treadable by a user and provided with sanitisation means suitable to dispense a sanitising substance. The sanitisation portion comprises a treadable support surface (14). The sanitisation means are housed in a sanitisation seat (16) formed in the sanitisation portion below said support surface 14. The sanitisation means comprise at least one tank (22; 120) containing the sanitising substance, at least one dispensing nozzle (24; 122) in fluidic communication with said tank (22; 120), said dispensing nozzle having an open end on said support surface, and actuator means (30; 130) operable to generate a spray or a vaporized or nebulised jet of the sanitising substance in the presence of a sanitisation command signal.

A dishwashing appliance, as provided herein, may include a cabinet, a tub, a pump, a spray assembly, a fluid recirculation duct, and a cold water line. The tub may be housed within the cabinet and define a wash chamber. The fluid recirculation duct may extend from a path inlet to a path outlet to recirculate air within the wash chamber. The path inlet may be defined in fluid communication between the wash chamber and the path outlet. The path outlet may be defined in fluid communication between the path inlet and the wash chamber downstream from the path inlet. The cold water line may extend through the fluid recirculation duct. The cold water line may define a cold water nozzle that is disposed within the fluid recirculation duct to provide a condensing, cold-water flow into the fluid recirculation duct between the path inlet and the path outlet.

A dishwasher and method of operating a dishwasher according to a cycle of operation are described herein. The dishwasher includes a tub at least partially defining a treating chamber, a rotatable spray arm comprising a nozzle outlet, and a liquid supply conduit fluidly coupled to the spray arm. A pump can be fluidly coupled to the liquid supply conduit and operated to flow liquid through an aperture in the liquid supply conduit.

A cleaning product including a spray dispenser and a cleaning composition suitable for spraying and foaming, the composition housed in the spray dispenser and includes: i) from about 5 to about 15% by weight of the composition of a surfactant system; and ii) a specific glycol ether solvent, the surfactant system and the glycol ether solvent are in a weight ratio of from about 5:1 to about 1:1.

A household dishwasher includes a receiving compartment for receiving an item to be washed, a pump sump, and a heat pump assembly through which, during operation, a heat transfer medium flows. The heat pump assembly includes a plate condenser configured to enable a transfer of heat from the heat transfer medium to a washing liquor circulating in the household dishwasher. A spray assembly supplies washing liquor to the item to be washed. A first flow path extends from the pump sump to the spray assembly for conducting the washing liquor, and a second flow path extends from the pump sump to the plate condenser. Means are provided to prevent or hinder foreign matter that is swept along with the washing liquor from adhering to a washing-liquor-facing surface of the plate condenser, or to detach foreign matter adhering to the washing-liquor-facing surface from said surface.

A dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, includes a control device configured to perform a number of washing programs for washing items to be washed, and an input means configured to register a user input for shortening a running selected washing program. The control device is configured to adjust the running selected washing program as a function of a registered user input in such a manner that a remaining washing time of an adjusted selected washing program is shortened compared with a regular remaining washing time of the running selected washing program.
