Benefits of technology

[0010] The dispenser according to the present invention also improves the handling of detergent-unit doses by the end user. Indeed, usually detergent-unit doses are individually packed in a flow-wrap to protect them from moisture or degradation (in particular in the case of tablets). Opening such flow-wraps is often a messy operation, which requires the end user to touch the product. For the dispensers herein, no individual package is needed for each detergent unit-dose, which simplifies the dispensing by the end user of the detergent unit-dose by the end user. Furthermore, due to the use of a dispenser herein, there is no need for the end user to touch the detergent unit-dose whereby direct contact is prevented, which has a beneficial effect on the stability of the detergent unit-dose and the potential for skin irritation caused by the detergent unit-dose is reduced.

Problems solved by technology

Opening such flow-wraps is often a messy operation, which requires the end user to touch the product.
