"air washing" of washing machine means:

hot air sterilization and mildew removal are carried out for clothes that are not suitable for washing. After the clothes are put in, the washing machine rotates without water, and at the same time, a large amount of hot air is blown in, which plays the role of mildew removal, sterilization and dehumidification.

"air washing" is mainly aimed at drum-type washing machines. In principle,

during operation, the inner drum of the washing machine rotates, but water does not enter, and at the same time, a large amount of hot air is continuously blown in, which plays the role of dehumidification, mildew removal and odor removal for the clothes inside. In other words, "air washing" doesn't really wash clothes, and it can't "wash" the stains on clothes. Instead, it removes all kinds of peculiar smells attached to clothes through hot air, and it can also play a certain bactericidal effect.

Extended information:

"Air washing" is often used to clean the following clothes:

1. "Air washing" is mainly used to wash quilts and pillows, so as to avoid washing cotton in quilts and pillows.

The washing machine does not add water in the whole washing process. After the quilt and pillow are put into the washing machine, the dust in the quilt and pillow is sucked away by the high-speed rotation of the inner cylinder of the washing machine, which feels like a vacuum cleaner. If the quilt and pillow have oil stains, blood stains and other dirt can't be washed away. This is the difference between air washing and water washing.

2. "air washing" is often used for clothes with peculiar smell, which can make clothes naturally clean without peculiar smell.

air washing is undoubtedly a better choice if clothes with peculiar smell are removed. When clothes are put into the washing machine, there is no need to add laundry detergent, and water is not needed to wash them. In just a few minutes, the clothes can be fresh and natural, and become more fluffy and soft, which is very time-saving. Of course, more importantly, because the air washing method does not need water washing, the unnecessary washing times are greatly reduced, and the fabric fiber and color are better cared for, thus effectively protecting the clothes.
