The invention concerns detergent dosing devices and particularly a device for metering detergent doses within a dishwashing machine. A detergent dosing device according to an embodiment of the invention comprises: a lid assembly (20) and a base assembly (10). The base assembly (10) is arranged to receive an array of “n” detergent doses and the device is arranged to perform “n” washing cycles prior to replacement of said array. The device provides improvements over the prior art in that it includes provision for counting means in the form of a counting ring (26) for providing a visual indication to a user of a number of washing cycles performed or remaining and further has an end of life indication means (22) for indicating, independently of said counting means, that “n” cycles have been carried out and that said array requires replacement.
