• a laundry treatment system comprising;
• a rotatable drum located in the housing to receive fabric;
• and
• an automatic laundry processing system in the cabinet providing at least one of mechanical energy, thermal energy, and chemical energy to the fabric in the rotatable drum to perform a laundry treatment process;
• and
• a stain treatment station integrated into the cabinet and comprising:
• a compartment located within the housing and separate from the rotatable drum;
• a fabric treatment reservoir located within the compartment;
• a perforated surface provided with the compartment to support fabric to be treated;
• a treatment fluid dispenser fluidly coupled to the fabric treatment reservoir to deliver fabric treatment liquid from the reservoir onto the perforated surface;
• and
• a drain located within the compartment and beneath the perforated surface to receive the treatment liquid that passes through the perforated surface;
• wherein the stain treatment station forms a cohesive unit and the laundry treatment system and the stain treatment station are integrated into the housing to form a stand-alone cabinet.
