Description

DESCRIPTION LAUNDRY WASHING PRODUCTS The present invention relates to compositions, systems and methods that provide laundry products adapted to a user's need. In particular, the invention provides compositions, systems and methods that enable a user to customize detergent compositions at will to suit his or her needs in his or her own home. For many consumers, no single laundry product is available that meets all their needs. As a result, many consumers purchase and store multiple laundry products, including biological and non-biological detergent products and those specifically formulated for whites or colors. In addition to storing these types of laundry products, consumers often store one or more additional stain removal products and/or benefits. In total, combinations can require a significant amount of storage space. Some consumers may simply use a single laundry product for all laundry, regardless of whether it is suitable or not. This means that in the washing process unnecessary ingredients (e.g. enzymes) that may have detrimental effects on the fabric and/or the environment are added, or other ingredients such as certain perfumes that may not be desired by all consumers. The present invention aims to find solutions to one or more of these problems in the prior art. Beneficial ingredients provide enhanced sensory experience, but their addition with other ingredients may mean additional processing to maintain effects in the presence of certain substances. A laundry detergent composition comprising the polymer is disclosed. The invention is directed to a softening of the laundry composition. However, these are not an ideal solution; there is still a need to improve the benefits provided to fabrics during the laundry process. In a first aspect, the invention provides a reservoir combination that provides separate stocks of components of laundry products to enable a user to formulate doses of laundry products on demand for feeding into the drum of a washing machine, the combination comprising: providing a stock of a first composition comprising a detergent. a first reservoir; and a second reservoir comprising a second composition having a stock of a laundry serum, the laundry serum comprising: a. 2 - 60% beneficial substances by weight; b. less than 4% by weight emulsifier and characterized in that the beneficial substance contains materials selected from: lubricants, free perfumes, encapsulated perfumes and mixtures thereof. The embodiment of the invention separates the beneficial substance from other components in the first composition and allows delivery in a serum format, whereby the beneficial substances provide superior performance compared to delivery through a conventional laundry liquid. The available stock of ingredients is suitable for use with a device providing a laundry product, the device comprising a dosing unit and a dispensing device, wherein the device will dispense portions of the ingredients from the stocks in response to a user command, thereby providing a laundry ready for a wash/rinse cycle at the dosing unit. The washing product works to provide the dose. A reservoir may contain a stock of a composition sufficient for two or more doses, preferably three or more, and more preferably five or more doses of a laundry product. In embodiments of the invention, a reservoir contains a stock of a composition in an amount sufficient for at least ten doses, optionally at least fifteen doses, preferably at least twenty doses. A multi-dose stock of the detergent composition according to the invention is also present in a washing machine having a dispensing device which serves to selectively dispense portions of the ingredients from the reservoirs in response to a command from a user to provide a ready dose of laundry product for a wash/rinse cycle. it could be. The combination according to the invention may be a system comprising a device that acts to selectively dispense ingredients from reservoirs at the command(s) of the user, thereby formulating doses of laundry products on demand. Therefore, the present invention allows the user to combine a beneficial agent with other ready-made laundry process components for a wash or rinse cycle. This separates the beneficial substance from other ingredients such as perfume or enzymes, allowing the user full control over the amount of each. This also distinguishes the beneficial substance delivery technology from other technologies, since the dose of beneficial substance can be added separately. This can be achieved, e.g., by automatic sequential dosing when the dispensing device is connected and preferably integrated in a washing machine, or by manual individual dosing with the aid of double-chamber shuttles or the like. The present invention also provides additional flexibility for the user, as it allows beneficial substances to be combined with other laundry product ingredients in various proportions according to recipes/instructions/guide, This enables potentially multiple permutations of laundry product compositions from stock compositions. Higher/lower levels of beneficial substances can be selected depending on the user's requirements for a given load of laundry, for example in terms of the type and level of soiling and the type of fabric(s) to be washed. Therefore, gymnastics/sportswear can be washed with anti-odor and a higher dose of detergent, but a lower dose of perfume. Linens can be washed with a higher dose of each. Thus, the present invention allows a household user to formulate specific laundry products ready to be fed into a washing machine drum in a dosing unit. Embodiments of the present invention may also include instructions for combining portions of stock components to provide a laundry product dose. Methods and devices for combining the contents of reservoirs are described in more detail below.

In existing detergent base compositions, the total amount of additional water and solvents is preferably used by weight. It may be a liquid product used in addition to the base detergent and/or fabric softener to give the materials an additional or enhanced benefit in the wash or rinse cycle. A serum can be identified by its physical interaction with laundry liquids. A serum can at least float on a detergent base. Throughout this specification, density is measured by weighing a known volume of the sample on a 4-digit balance using a lidded "Sheen" density cup. Viscosity measurements throughout this specification were performed on a BHR-2 rheometer from TA instruments at 25°C using a 4 cm diameter 2° cone and plate geoinemetry. More specifically, all measurements were performed with a 4 cm diameter 2 degree angled cone and plate measuring system using a TA-Instruments DHR-Z rheometer. The lower Peltier plate was used to control the measurement temperature at 25°C. The measurement protocol was a "flow curve" where the applied shear stress varied logarithmically from 0.01 Pa to 400 Pa with 10 measurement points per ten units of pressure. In each press, the shear stress rate is measured during the last 5 seconds of the 10-second period, during which the applied stress with Viscosity is calculated as the ratio of shear stress and shear rate. For systems exhibiting a low shear Viscosity plateau of at least 1 Pa over large shear stress ranges, the characteristic viscosity is taken to be the viscosity at a shear stress of 0.3 Pa. For systems where the viscosity response is shear thinning from low shear stress, the characteristic viscosity is taken as the viscosity at a shear rate of 21 s-1.

Polysaccharide-based cationic polymers: Polysaccharide-based cationic polymers include cationic celluloses, cationic guars, and cationic starches. Polysaccharides are polymers consisting of monosaccharide monomers joined together by glycosidic bonds. Cationic polysaccharide-based cationic polymers present in the compositions according to the invention have a modified polysaccharide backbone that is modified in that additional chemical groups react with a portion of the free hydroxyl groups in the polysaccharide backbone to impart an overall positive charge to the modified cellulosic monomer unit.10 Non-polysaccharide-based cationic Polymers: A non-polysaccharide-based polymer consists of structural units that can be nonionic, cationic, anionic, or mixtures thereof. The polymer may contain non-cationic structural units, but the polymer must have a net cationic charge.

Structural units are first structural units, second structural units, third structural units, etc. It can be defined as . Structural units or monomers can be added to the cationic polymer randomly or in a block form. The cationic polymer may contain a nonionic structural unit derived from monomers selected from: (meth)acrylamide, vinyl formamide, N,N-dialkyl acrylamide, N,N-dialkylmethacrylamide, Cl-C12 alkyl acrylate, Cl-C12 hydroxyalkyl acrylate, polyalkylene glycol acrylate, Cl-C12 alkyl methacrylate, C1-C12 hydroxyalkyl methacrylate, polyalkylene glycol methacrylate, vinyl acetate, vinyl alcohol, vinyl formamide, vinyl acetamide, vinyl alkyl ether, vinyl pyridine, vinyl pyrrolidone, vinyl imidazole, vinyl caprolactam and mixtures thereof.

Stabilizers of this type can be selected from: rope-like structuring systems, e.g. hydrogenated castor oil or trihydroxystearin, e.g. Thixcin, Elementis Specialties, Cross-linked polyacrylic acid, such as Carbopol, Lubrizol and gums, such as carrageenan. Preferably, the cationic polymer is selected from cationic polysaccharides and acrylate polymers. More preferably the cationic polymer is a cationic polysaccharide. The molecular weight of the cationic polymer is preferably higher than 20 000 g/mol, more preferably lower than 1 000 000 g/mol.

Other materials Products according to the invention may contain iridescent agents and/or mattifying agents. May also include other optional laundry items. Physical properties Preferably, the viscosity of the laundry serum composition is higher than the viscosity of a laundry washing liquid with which it is used, more preferably 300 Pa.s, most preferably 500 Pa.s higher than the viscosity of a laundry washing liquid with which it is used. The higher viscosity prevents the laundry serum composition from mixing with the laundry liquid and provides the benefit of carrying the entire serum composition into the wash or rinse with the laundry liquid. The viscosity of the laundry composition is preferably 400 - 15000 Pa.s. This viscosity is useful for the laundry liquid to carry the serum into the laundry process. Preferably, the serum floats on top of the laundry liquid with which it is used. By floating it is meant that the serum will remain on the surface of the laundry liquid for a period of at least 5 minutes, preferably 10 minutes and most preferably at least 15 minutes. The buoyancy feature is useful for the washing liquid to carry the serum into the laundry process. In order to ensure that the serum floats, it is not important that it is less dense than the laundry liquid it is used with, however, it is preferred that the serum be less dense than the laundry liquid it is used with. This density is useful for the washing liquid to carry the serum into the laundry process. The laundry serum composition preferably does not mix with the laundry liquid it is used with. Therefore, the laundry serum composition and the laundry washing liquid contain liquids that do not mix with each other. The non-mixing feature prevents the laundry serum composition and the laundry washing liquid from mixing and ensures a non-homogeneous combination, ensuring the performance of the serum at the maximum level. The laundry serum composition may be dispensed after other compositions so that it floats on top of the other compositions when dispensed into a dosing unit, such as a dosing shuttle. Pour the laundry serum over at least the base detergent. This is useful for the laundry liquid to carry the serum into the wash or rinse by mixing the two compositions. Preferably, the serum is added to the laundry process in a volume of 2-50 ml, more preferably in a volume of 2-30 m1, most preferably in a volume of 2-20 m1. Serum Samples Procedure for preparing exemplary laundry formulations Water and hydroballs were mixed together using a Janke & Kunkel IKA RW20 overhead mixer at a cut-off speed of 150 rpm for 2-3 minutes at ambient temperature. Salts and alkalis were added and after mixing for 5 minutes, surfactants and fatty acid were added. The mixture was exothermic and allowed to cool to <30°C. Precipitation polymer2 (where available), silicone emulsion (where available) and perfume, preservatives and dyes. Sample serum production method: Demineralized water was added to the silicone emulsion and mixed using a Janke & Kunkel lKA RW20 overhead mixer for 15 minutes at 250 rpm. Solid precipitation polymer2 was slowly added to the top and mixed for another minute by increasing the rotor speed to ensure visual mass mixing.

Bleach Reservoir A bleach reservoir component may be provided that contains a bleach component suitable for use in a laundry cycle. Additionally, the agartiei component contains an oxygen agartiei system. Such bleaching systems can, for example, be a peroxygen bleach or a peroxy-based or peroxy-forming system. Mixtures of bleaches can also be used. Preferably, the bleaching component is selected so that it can be easily handled and stored in accordance with the requirements for the least hazardous class of organic peroxides. This allows the first composition to be safely transported and stored in an eV type environment. A preferred category of bleaches includes percarboxylic acid bleaching agents, their salts and precursors, especially organic percarboxylic acids, their salts and precursors, especially aromatic percarboxylic acids and their salts, and especially heteroaromatic peroxycarboxylic acids and their salts. In particularly preferred embodiments, 6-(phthalimido) peroxyhexanoic acid (PAP) and its salts are used. Suitable PAP qualities can be obtained from the market under the Eureco brand. Exemplary liquid grades include Eureco LX5, LX10 and LX17, which are stabilized aqueous suspensions of PAP crystals. Additional oxygen-based bleach samples are available under the brand name Suprox. Typically, a first composition may contain up to 20% by weight, particularly up to 19% by weight and preferably up to 18% by weight of bleaching component. Suitably, a first composition may contain at least 1% by weight, in particular at least 2% by weight, preferably at least 3% by weight, more preferably at least 4% by weight of bleaching component. Peroxygen bleaches, perborates and percarbonates can also be combined with bleach activators, which enable a peroxy acid corresponding to the bleach activator to be produced in situ during the washing process. Examples of preferred peroxy acid bleach precursors or activators are TAED (N, N, N" N" - tetraacetyl ethylene diamine) and SNOBS (sodium nonanoyloxybenzene sulfonate). The first composition may be, for example, in the form of a liquid, gel, or powder. In preferred embodiments, the first composition is in the form of a liquid which may contain a suspension of bleaching component. If the first composition and/or the bleaching component is in liquid composition form, the bleaching component may be provided with a bleaching activator, preferably in a separate reservoir. First composition - Solvents/Carriers Various solvents and carriers typically used in laundry detergent formulations may be added to the bleaching composition, provided they are compatible with the bleaching compositions. The bleaching component may optionally contain water and/or non-aqueous carrier solvents in an amount of up to 85% by weight, preferably not more than 80% by weight, more preferably not more than 75% by weight, or not more than 70% by weight. Preferably, the first composition may contain up to 85% by weight, preferably up to 80% by weight, more preferably up to 75% by weight, or up to 70% by weight of anhydrous carrier. Exemplary solvents include glycols and other alcohols. Aqueous and non-aqueous mixtures can be used. Sequestrants A bleach may contain sequestrants to stabilize its component, especially when the bleach is in liquid form. Exemplary sequestrants include HEDP (1-Hydroxyethylidene-1,1,-diphosphonic acid), such as Dequest 2010, and (Diethylenetriamine penta(methylene phosphonic acid or Heptasodium DTPMP), Dequest® 2066. Suitably, the compositions may contain not more than 2% by weight of sequestrants. In particular A preferred bleach composition may include a suspension of 6-(phthalimido)peroxyhexanoic acid (PAP) with sequestrant in water. PAP is commercially available in various liquid forms such as Eureco LX5 (water suspension stabilized with 5% PAP crystals), Eureco LX10 and LX17 (10% and 10%, respectively). It can be supplied as a water suspension stabilized with 17% PAP crystals. Excellent PAP stability is achieved at pH 3.7 +/- 0.2. Fluorescent Substances The addition of fluorescein to a composition, and particularly to the aqueous composition, can be advantageous. Generally, these fluorescent substances are supplied in the form of alkali metal salts. The total amount of fluorescent substance or substances used in the composition is generally between 0.005% by weight. Preferred classes of fluorescers are: Di-styryl biphenyl compounds, e.g. Tinopal (Trademark) CBS-X and Tinopal CBS-CL, Di-arnin stilbene di-sulfonic acid compounds, e.g. Tinopal DMS pure Xtra, Tinopal SBMGX and Blankophor (Trademark) HRH and Pyrazoline compounds e.g. Blankophor SN. Preferred fluorescers are: 2 (4-styryl-3-sulfophenyl1)-2H-naphthol[1,2-d]triazole; 4,4*- bis{[(4-anilino-6-(N methyl-N-Z hydroxyethyl)amino 1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)]amino}stilbene-2-2' and 4,4'- bis(2-sulfostyryl)biphenyl salts. Tinting dyes Tinting dye can be used to improve the performance of detergent compositions and can optionally be added to bleach or detergent compositions. Preferred dyes are purple and blue. It is believed that applying these tinting dyes on fabrics at a low level masks the yellowing in the fabrics. Another advantage of tinting dyes is that they can be used to mask any yellow tint in the composition itself. Suitable and preferred classes of paints are described below. Direct Dyes: Direct dyes (also known as substantive dyes) are a class of dyes that have affinity for fiber and can be dissolved in water when taken directly. Preferably, bis-azo or tris-azo dyes are used, as direct violet and direct blue dyes are preferred.

Preferred examples are triarylmethane basic dyes, methane basic dye, anthraquinone basic Reactive dyes: Reactive dyes are dyes containing an organic group that can react with cellulose and bind the dye to the cellulose with a covalent bond. They are applied on cotton. Preferably, the reactive group hydrolyzes or the reactive group in the dyes reacts with an organic species, such as a polymer, binding the dye to this species. Dyes can be selected from reactive violet and reactive blue dyes listed in the International Color Index. is included. Dye conjugates: Dye conjugates are formed by directly binding acid or basic dyes to polymers or particles through physical forces. Depending on the choice of polymer and particle, cotton Particularly preferred dyes are: direct violet 7, direct violet 9, direct violet 11, direct violet mixtures. A tinting dye can be used without fluorescer, but it is particularly preferred to use a tinting dye in combination with a fluorescer to reduce yellowing due to chemical changes in the adsorbed fluorescer. Particularly preferred embodiments of the first composition contain the bleaching component in combination with at least one of (ia) fluorescein and/or (ib) tinting dye. pH adjustment reservoir composition Another reservoir may act as a pH modifier to enhance the performance of the bleaching component, preferably during the wash cycle. pH adjusting agents pH adjusting such as an alkanolamine, such as monoethanolamine MEA, diethanolamine and triethanolamine TEA; alkali metal hydroxides such as NaOH and KOH; alkali metal carbonates and bicarbonates such as sodium carbonate/bicarbonate and alkali metal silicates such as sodium silicate. Mixtures of bases can be used. A pH altering composition has a pH in the reservoir of at least 8, preferably at least 9, more preferably at least 10, especially at least 11, most preferably at least 12 and optionally at least 13. The base concentration is selected to provide a wash pH of 8 to 11, preferably 8 to 10, optionally 8 to 9.5, especially 8 to 9. Builders and sequestrants The pH adjusting composition also preferably contains builders and/or sequestrants. Examples include alkali metal carbonates, citrates, succinates, malonates, carboxymethyl succinates, carboxylates, polycarboxylates and polyacetyl carboxylates. Specific examples include oxydisuccinic acid, mellitic acid, benzene polycarboxylic acids and the sodium, potassium and lithium salts of citric acid. Other examples are DEQUESTTM, organic phosphonate-type sequestrants sold by Monsanto, and alkanehydroxy phosphonates. Carbonic acid and citric acid salts are preferred, especially sodium carbonate and sodium citrate. Other suitable organic builders include high molecular weight polymers and copolymers known to have building properties. For example, such materials include suitable polyacrylic acid, polymaleic acid and polyacrylic/polymaleic acid copolymers and their salts, such as those sold by BASF under the trade name SOKALANTM. The appropriate amount of builder depends on the product form of the composition, particularly whether it is a powder or a liquid. In preferred embodiments of the invention, the second composition is in liquid form. Preferably, the second composition contains from 5 to 40% by weight, especially not more than 30% by weight, more preferably not more than 25% by weight, and most preferably not more than 20% by weight of builder component. Exemplary sequestrants are: HEDP (1-Hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid), such as Dequest 2066. Preferably the compositions contain no more than 5% by weight of the sequestrant, in particular 01 to 3% by weight of the sequestrant pH adjusting composition, in addition to which the composition is stable at the in-reservoir pH. May contain detergent compositions such as surfactants. Additionally or alternatively, the detergent may include an Enzyme reservoirs Device may include one or more reservoirs containing enzyme compositions. Although enzymes are powerful stain removers, some or all of the enzymes may not be used for many laundry items. For example, different enzyme families are effective against different classes of stains, and most laundry is free of stains at all. Enzymes are added to each wash, which can result in waste. The inventors observed that certain enzymes cannot be stored in combination. For example, protease and lipase generally cannot be combined in a single liquid composition because the protease can digest the lipase during storage. Similarly, protease can digest cellulase when stored in a liquid. However, while lipase is very useful in removing oils, cellulase provides color retention and improved fabric treatment with the benefit of lint removal and/or background whiteness (depending on the cellulase used). This means that traditional laundry projects often include an enzyme mixture. By using multiple reservoirs containing an enzyme, the present invention allows the different benefits of these enzymes to be accessed in a single process. For example, the device may include a reservoir containing a first composition comprising a protease and a second composition comprising a cellulase and/or a lipase. Thus, for example, depending on the type of stain, neither, one, or both of these compositions can be fed. Preferably, the first and second enzyme compositions are completely different from each other in terms of enzyme classes. The composition in the first enzyme reservoir may optionally also contain a pectate lyase. The composition in the first enzyme reservoir may optionally also contain a surfactant, such as sodium laureth sulfate (SLES). This additional surfactant can be used to increase the cleaning power to approximately or above that of the detergent composition, which can be useful in the case of stained laundry. Certain surfactants are also known to be more suitable for enzymatic cleaning processes. The device can dispense the composition in the first enzyme reservoir for stains such as grass and blood. In some embodiments, the composition in the second enzyme reservoir includes a cellulase and/or a lipase and/or an amylase. Preferably, the composition in reservoir (iii) contains a lipase. Suitably, the composition in reservoir (iii) does not contain a protease. In some cases, the composition in the second enzyme reservoir includes a cellulase. In some cases, the composition in the second enzyme reservoir includes a lipase. In some cases, the composition in the second enzyme reservoir includes an amylase. Naturally, the composition in the second enzyme reservoir may include any combination of these enzymes. The composition in the second enzyme reservoir may optionally also contain mannanase. The composition in the second enzyme reservoir may optionally also contain a surfactant, such as SLES. As described for the first enzyme reservoir, this additional surfactant can be used to increase the cleaning power to approximately or above that of the detergent composition, which can be useful in the case of stained laundry. The device can distribute the composition in the second enzyme reservoir for stains such as sauce, starch-based stains, chocolate and chocolate products, and oily food stains. The compositions may contain additional ingredients such as a fragrance, colorants, opalescents and/or opacifiers. Typically such compositions will be present in an amount of less than 1% by weight of the total, more preferably less than 9% by weight, and especially less than 8% by weight. Additionally or alternatively, such additional materials may be provided in one or more additional reservoirs. External Structurers The rheology of compositions can also be modified by using a material or materials that create a structuring network within the composition. Suitable structurants include hydrogenated castor oil, microfibrous cellulose and naturally based structurants, such as citrus pulp fibre. Citrus pulp fiber is preferred, especially if lipase enzyme is included in the composition. Preferably, if used, such external structurants are present in an amount of less than 2% by weight, preferably less than 1% by weight. Visual Cues Compositions may include visual cues from solid material that is insoluble in the composition. Preferred visual marks are flaky marks consisting of a thin layer of polymer and possibly containing functional materials that may not be stable when exposed to alkaline liquid. Enzymes and bleach catalysts are examples of such materials. Also perfume, especially micro-encapsulated perfume. Packages and dosing The compositions are preferably in liquid form. Each composition is preferably provided in a reservoir cartridge adapted for use with a dosing device that serves to selectively dispense portions of the composition at the direction of a user, such as as described herein. A reservoir cartridge may contain a stock of a composition sufficient for two or more doses, preferably three or more, and more preferably five or more doses of the laundry product. A cartridge may be single-use or designed to be refillable. A cartridge combination can provide individual stocks of ingredients in quantities sufficient to provide multiple laundry product doses. Instructions may be provided to help the user make specific choices based on factors such as fabric type and stain type. A dosing unit (e.g., a ball) may also be provided as part of a kit to formulate multiple doses of laundry products. Another aspect of the invention relates to a device for delivering laundry product, the device comprising a dispensing device having reservoirs housing the laundry product components and a dosing unit, wherein the device distributes the components from the reservoirs to provide a dose of the laundry product in the dosing unit in response to a user input. It serves to selectively distribute the sections. The device has a reservoir having a stock of a composition comprising a detergent component and a second reservoir having a second composition having a stock of a laundry serum, the laundry serum comprising: a. 2 - 60% beneficial substances by weight; b. network. Less than 4% emulsifier and The device preferably has a computer programmed to cause the device to selectively dispense components from reservoirs in response to an input from the user. The device can be configured so that the dosing unit and the dispensing device are located outside the washing machine, and the dosing unit is adapted to be manually located inside the washing machine, particularly inside the washing machine drum. The dose of laundry product can also be fed into the drum via a drawer. In some embodiments, a device may be connected to the washing machine such that a dispensing means is located within the washing machine and serves to dispense portions of components from reservoirs into the washing machine drum in response to input from a user. The ingredients can be dispensed directly into the water stream or into a reservoir or pipe through which the water subsequently flows to form a laundry liquid. Additional reservoirs containing active ingredients for other laundry product ingredients, particularly laundry detergent, may be provided. The reservoirs involved are generally separate and fragmented. Preferably, the device includes at least a third reservoir containing a stock of detergent composition. Methodological aspects of the invention relate to providing laundry products, and preferably liquid laundry detergent compositions, by combining the compositions in the first and second direction reservoirs. A preferred method involves combining portions of stock compositions from reservoirs such that a dose of a laundry product is provided in a dosing unit, for example by activating a device according to the third aspect, and then feeding the laundry product into the drum of a washing machine. Embodiments of the invention may also provide a kit for a user to formulate specific doses of a laundry product, wherein the kit includes individual ingredients of the laundry product described herein, optionally with instructions for combining selected portions of stock ingredients to provide a variety of alternative options for a laundry product dose. It contains a combination of reservoirs that provide separate stocks of water. A kit may optionally include a dosing unit for maintaining a dose of the laundry product to be fed to a washing machine, suitably locating the dosing unit within a washing machine. In various aspects of the invention, the dosing unit may be a conventional dosing ball or may have one or more features designed to complement or otherwise interact with the dosing device. For a device aspect of the invention, the laundry product may be dispensed by a computer module based on the input provided before the wash or rinse cycle begins (i.e., before a wash/rinse fluid is created, as appropriate). Entry can be provided in a variety of ways, for example by the user making selections or providing suggestions, or by detecting a label or mark on the item to be washed, such as a QR "quick response code". Conveniently, this input is captured via a user interface on the device. The device may include a graphical user interface (GUI). For example, the GUI may be presented to the user on a digital display of the user interface. User input may be captured by the device's user interface through a variety of user interaction mechanisms, including the use of buttons, touch screen, voice commands, gestures, or other suitable methods. The computer module may communicate with an external user device, such as a mobile phone, tablet, or laptop, to receive user input from a user interface of the external device. Using the interface, the user can select an appropriate laundry product recipe, or the computer module can select, create, or retrieve a recipe based on the user's input (laundry type, stains, preferences, etc.). The recipe used to determine the quantities can be obtained from an internal memory within the device, or can be obtained from an external memory accessed, for example, via the Internet. The user interface may include a feature to enable data to be entered in groups, for example by prompting the user to select certain options or alternatives. Accordingly, the device may have or communicate with a user interface that allows the user to enter data using at least two sets of options. At least one set of options may prompt the user to enter the stain ID (e.g., grass, chocolate, blood, etc.), and at least one set of options may prompt the user to enter the fabric color and/or type (e.g., cotton, polyester cotton, polyester). Based on the data entered for each of these groups, an algorithm can be used to determine the optimal formulation that balances the cleaning needs of certain stains with others. The algorithm may be stored and accessed in the computer module in the device or obtained from an external source such as the Internet. Accordingly, in some cases, the computer module may be programmed with an algorithm to determine how much product from each reservoir is used based on user input. Thus, in some cases, the computer module is programmed to communicate with an external source to access an algorithm and determine how much product from each reservoir is used based on user input. Each reservoir may have a type of fluid connection that can be controlled by a distribution nozzle that distributes to the dose adjustment unit. Compositions in the various reservoirs may be dispensed directly into the dosing unit (since it is not necessary to mix the various components before use) or through a pre-mixing chamber that mixes two or more components before dispensing. Reservoirs may be integrated into a housing of the device, such that the composition in the reservoir is in fluidic communication with a nozzle to dispense the composition into a dosing unit or a pre-mixing chamber, or more preferably may be provided as pre-filled cartridges that function in conjunction with the housing of the device. According to preferred embodiments of the invention, the reservoirs contain individual cartridges. A reservoir cartridge may have hard walls. In other words, the cartridge can be form-keeping, maintaining its shape regardless of the amount of laundry product in the reservoir. A reservoir cartridge may have flexible walls. As will be appreciated, the cartridge can be configured to fit the overall design and shape of the device. Said reservoir cartridge may be, but is not limited to, a plastic bag or hard plastic container. Each reservoir cartridge may be of a type that can be fixed to the device so that the contents of the reservoir can be isolated by means of a valve. Thus, suitably, the cartridge includes mating means configured to engage complementary mating means on the device so that, when inserted, the reservoir cartridge is securely retained and the laundry product within the reservoir cartridge is retained depending on whether the valve of the device is closed or open, or is released. In other words, the cartridge may include a connecting portion that mates with a companion connecting portion of the device. Additionally or alternatively, the contents of the reservoir may be fed by pressure and/or vacuum created within the device. It will be appreciated that the device may include a pump to move the liquids to be dispensed from the reservoirs to the dosing nozzle, optionally via a pre-mixing chamber. Accordingly, each reservoir cartridge can be secured to the device by mating means configured to engage complementary mating means on the device so that, when installed in place, the reservoir cartridge is securely held and the laundry product within the reservoir cartridge is retained depending on whether the pump is off or on. or released. DETAILED DESCRIPTION Particularly preferred embodiments of the invention are explained below by means of Examples. Embodiments of the device aspect of the invention are explained with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings, the description of which is given below: Figure 1 shows a representative drawing of a device according to an embodiment of the invention. Figure 2 shows a partially cut representative drawing of the above device showing part of the cartridge arrangement. Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional drawing of a device integrated into a washing machine for formulating doses of present compositions. The device shown in Figure 1 has a dispensing device (1) and a dose adjustment unit (2). The appliance is a freestanding device designed to be placed on a workbench or similar. For example, it can be placed on a counter in the kitchen or laundry room or placed on top of a washing machine. As shown, the dosing unit 2 is a conventional dosing ball typically made of plastic material. During use, the dose adjustment unit is placed in a distribution area (3) located below a nozzle (4). As shown, the dispensing area (3) is a slot provided in the device housing and the dose adjustment unit (2) is located on a surface 10 provided in the housing. However. It will be appreciated that the housing, for example, can be placed directly on the countertop (or other surface on which the device is placed) while the dosing unit is in use. Laundry product materials are distributed into the dosing unit (2) via nozzle (4). As shown, only one nozzle is used. However, it will be appreciated that more than one nozzle may be provided. For example, different reservoirs may have fluid communication with different nozzles, such that a first reservoir may have fluid communication with a first nozzle and a second reservoir may have fluid communication with a second nozzle. The device has a control/information interface (5). As shown, interface 5 is a touch screen provided in the housing that both displays information and allows selections and information to be entered into a computer module (not shown). However, in some embodiments, the device may be provided with a panel having buttons, keypads, or the like for entering information. In some embodiments, input may be conveyed via command or gesture. As appreciated. A viewing screen on the device's housing is not essential. The device can be configured to be used without a display screen, or an external display screen, for example on a phone or a tablet, can be connected to the device (for example, via Bluetooth or the like). Figure 2 shows a partially cutaway view of the device of Figure 1. In this embodiment, three reservoir cartridges 6a, 6b and 6G are housed inside. Each cartridge maintains a stock of a material composition. For example, in this illustrated non-limiting embodiment, 6a maintains a detergent base composition disclosed herein, 6b maintains a conditioning serum composition disclosed herein, and 60 retains an enzyme composition as follows. 6a Detergent formulation In this example, the surfactant system is provided by linear alkyl benzene sulfonate (LAS) and Cm-C15 alcohol nonionic surfactant ethoxylated with 2 to 7 E0. In some embodiments, exemplary ingredients for a concentrated detergent base may include any of the detergent ingredients described above. Gb Enzyme formulations The device is an enzyme reservoir (6b). Reservoir 6b includes a first material composition comprising a protease (not a cellulase or a lipase). A further second enzyme reservoir (not shown) may be included and comprises a second material composition comprising a cellulase and/or a lipase (and not containing a protease). Thus, for example, depending on the type of stain, neither, one, or both of these compositions can be fed. 6c Care serum cartridge formulation Component name Ag. % Silicone] 5 Precipitation polymer2 2 NaOH to pH 7-8 Minor components <5 Water to 100 Silicone - Silicone added as a 30% emulsion from Wacker Silicone. It contains a carboxy group suspended on a silicon middle chain. Precipitation polymer2 - UcareTM polyinner LR400, Dow Each cartridge (6a, 6b, 60) includes a valve (7) and each cartridge has fluid communication with a nozzle via a flow path (8). The flow (location to which it is dispensed) from a cartridge to a nozzle (4) is controlled by the valve. Therefore, in this embodiment, each valve is a metering valve where the measured volume is controlled by the computer module. Governors can be located at any location along the flow path, and other types of valves can be used. Measurement of material compositions can also be carried out in other ways, for example by creating pressure in the reservoir to force the liquid out. The diagram shows separate flows from each reservoir to the nozzle (4). It will be appreciated that the flow paths may converge before reaching the nozzle. For example, the device may have a mixer chamber in which different material compositions are combined before being dispensed into the dosing unit. During use, the dosing unit is placed under the nozzle (4) (so that the product dispensed through the nozzle enters a chamber of the dosing device). The user enters information about the laundry load into the computer module. Typically, data can be entered in two or more groups, each requiring certain information from the user. For example, Group 1 can be used to enter the type of laundry: whites or coloureds. It can be used to enter whether a Group II stain is present and optionally the type of stain. So the user can select whites, grass10 spots, mud spots. Other data requirements may include: fabric type (cotton/polyester cotton/polyester), as fabric care beneficial substances and their amounts may differ in each case; fragrance selection (different individuals in the household may prefer different fragrances for their clothing, or adding fragrance to sheets and towels may be desirable, but adding fragrance to clothing may not be desirable); amount of stains (e.g., lots of grass stains, just a little mud stains); amount of laundry (less laundry requires less product). The care serum can be dispensed at the user's direct request with input "add care serum" or as part of a recipe designed to add beneficial ingredients. An optimized wash composition is then determined and appropriate amounts are dispensed from the respective cartridges. The computer module (not shown) controls the quantity dispensed. The recipe used to determine the quantities can be obtained from an internal memory within the device, or can be obtained from an external memory accessed, for example, via the Internet. Often, especially when more than one stain type is present, an algorithm can be used to determine the optimal formulation that balances the cleaning needs of certain stains with others. It will be appreciated that a variety of other reservoir cartridges may be provided, each containing one or more materials for a laundry product to increase the versatility of the system. The user can select various options such as stain type and fabric type, and the computer module can then add appropriate amounts of the ingredients from the relevant reservoir cartridge into the dosing ball ready to be placed by the user into the washing machine drum. The illustrated arrangement relates to a stand-alone device in which the dispensing device and dosing unit are located outside the washing machine. In some embodiments, a dispensing means and/or a dosing unit may be located within a washing machine. The dosing unit can be arranged in fluid communication with the washing machine drum so that the laundry product dose is delivered without the need for user intervention. Figure 3 shows a device integrated into a washing machine 10. The washing machine has a drum space (1 l) in which the products are washed. During a washing program, water and washing liquid enter the drum through a sprayer (12). Water enters the machine through inlet 13 (shown schematically and only partially). Water and washing liquid drain from the drum area (11) into a reservoir (14) and can then be recirculated through the circulation pump (15) to be sprayed back into the drum area (arrows point in the direction) or discharged to the waste outlet (16). Reservoirs 6a, 6b and 60 contain stocks of the components described above. As shown, these are cartridges that engage dispensing means 18, although it will be appreciated that the reservoirs may simply be provided as containers into which the compositions are poured. Cartridges can be loaded and replaced through the access door (19). The device has a computer module (20). As explained here, the computer module controls which and optionally how much of each cartridge is dispensed. As shown here, the washing machine has a control panel (21) that provides access to the computer module. As shown, the control panel is a touch screen. Currently, the control panel and the computer module are also used to determine the inakine program, but it will be appreciated that they can be separate. As explained above, during use, the user enters information about the laundry load into the computer module (20). The most suitable laundry composition is then determined and the appropriate amount is dispensed from the relevant cartridges by the dispensing means (18) and can be combined, for example, in a single pipe or chamber before entering the water flow of the machine. This may be referred to as a pre-mixing area 27. As shown, three separate tubes combine into a single tube used to dose the product. In other words, the dispensed material compositions can be at least partially premixed before being diluted to provide a washing liquid. The computer module controls the amount distributed.TR
