FIELD: mechanical engineering, in particular, technique for washing machines.

SUBSTANCE: detergent feeding unit has container for detergent, at least one inlet cavity defined within container for detergent, and control member located within inlet cavity and designed for controlling of detergent flow within inlet cavity. Control member is positioned within inlet cavity for increasing or decreasing time during which detergent is staying within inlet cavity.
