    Abstract: A method for preparing and/or monitoring the wet treatment of items of laundry wherein the items of laundry are counted using their electronic data carriers. An electronic data carrier of the item of laundry is determined. If more than a single electronic data carrier is detected, this indicates that there are multiple connected items of laundry which do not permit washing. The electronic data carriers can be used to determine the number of items of laundry loaded into a washing machine and the number of items of the same unloaded batch of laundry. If the unloaded batch of laundry has a lower number of electronic data carriers than during loading, this indicates that not all the items have been unloaded from the washing machine and there is a risk of the washing machine becoming blocked.

    Abstract: The dispenser (1) is configured to couple with a container (100) containing at least one chemical agent (101) and to dispense the chemical agent (101) when the dispenser (1) has been coupled with the container (100). The container (100) may be introduced into a receiving space (5) of the dispenser (1) into a coupling position. The dispenser (1) has a sensor (7) for the contact-free detection of container information or container content information and an occupancy sensor (8), which detects whether a container (100) that has been inserted into the receiving space (5) is in the coupling position. Only when the container (100) is in the coupling position, then the occupancy sensor (8) will activate the sensor (7) for the contact-free detection of container information or container content information, which detects in the activated state the container information or container content information and examines the correctness thereof. If this is positive, the sensor (7) initiates a release of the dispenser (1) into an operational state, wherein the chemical agent (101) may be dispensed from the container (100).
