A dishwasher (1) is proposed, in which the program sequence can be controlled as required. According to the invention, this is achieved by providing a radar sensor (12).

A dishwashing agent consists of a crystalline, largely water-insoluble sodium layer silicate having a molar ratio of SiO.sub.2 /Na.sub.2 O of (1.9 to 3.5):1 in combination with a proton donor, a 0.5% strength by weight aqueous solution of the dishwashing agent having a pH of less than 10. The dishwashing agent can furthermore contain a surfactant, an active chlorine or active oxygen carrier, a dispersing agent, an alkali metal phosphate or an alkali metal polyphosphate and a filler.

A detergent active mixture of a dialkyl (C.sub.7 -C.sub.9) ester of sulphosuccinic acid and a sulphate R(OC.sub.2 H.sub.4).sub.n OSO.sub.3 M wherein R is alkyl, linear or branched, primary or secondary, having 11-18 carbon atoms, n is 0-40 when R is derived from a primary alcohol and 2-40 when derived from a secondary alcohol and M is an alkali metal ammonium or substituted ammonium ion, gives synergistic lather stability in hand dishwashing.

A granular, agglomerated, powdered or liquid detergent composition comprising a surface-active quaternary ammonium compound, a slightly water-soluble nonionic polypropylene oxide-polyethylene oxide condensation product, and either a surface-active betaine or a sultaine. The detergent composition is designed particularly for washing glassware, china, and glazed or vitreous articles. It provides not only good cleaning, especially fat removal and suspension, but also imparts to the washed articles ...

A method of washing dishware/tableware in an automatic dishwashing machine, the method comprising simultaneously or sequentially delivering quantities of a particulate or densified particulate automatic dishwashing product and of an anhydrous liquid, gel or paste form dishwashing detergent auxiliary contained in separate compartments of a multi-compartment pouch into the same or different cycles of the dishwashing machine. The method provides improved cleaning performance and product stability.
