Abstract

Process for washing clothes in a washing machine, which comprises using a liquid detergent which is released gradually into the washing medium from a special device placed in the drum of the machine at the same time as the clothes instead of being released from the dispenser provided for the detergent on the washing machine. The rechargeable device is a container provided with a filling orifice and with vents for the liquid. The container may be a flat-bottomed sphere or a ring. <IMAGE>
