What does air wash in a washing machine mean? Should I put laundry detergent in the air wash?

As we all know, laundry is generally washed or dry cleaned, but now there is a new term called air washing. What does air washing mean? Is it air washing?

Air washing is not laundry in the traditional sense. It is not the same as water washing and dry cleaning. The purpose is not to remove stains on clothes, but to “wash” odors, bacteria mites, floating dust, etc. on clothes. Clothes stay fluffy, color and shape.

Therefore, there is no need to add laundry detergent when air washing.

Air washing mainly injects gas with a certain temperature, humidity and pressure into the inner drum of the washing machine, and under the action of mechanical force, drives the flow of gas in the drum, thereby generating a strong airflow. Through the rubbing action of the airflow passing through the clothing fabric, the fibers are fully stretched and the elasticity of the fibers is restored so that the fabric feels soft and elastic.

Therefore, this function is only equipped in the washer-dryer or heat pump dryer.

We usually wear clothes, which basically do not get dirty. If it is not summer, the frequency of changing and washing is generally relatively low. But if there are frequent social events or people who have the habit of smoking, the clothes will inevitably be contaminated with the smell of tobacco, alcohol, hot pot, etc. If you go to the laundry because of this smell, it will inevitably become a big deal. At this time, it is very suitable to use air washing.

Because the air wash is basically a slightly steamed air wash, it is a very small water mist, which is basically invisible to the naked eye and will not wet the clothes. Therefore, the clothes after the air wash can be continued to be worn immediately, which is very convenient.

In addition to removing odors, air washing can also sterilize mites. The principle is similar to that of high-temperature sterilization. Through long-term high-temperature steam sterilization, the sterilization rate can reach 99.99%.

Air washing is mainly for those clothes that are usually not suitable for washing and inconvenient for dry cleaning, to remove dust and odor. At the same time, clothes that need to be treated can also be washed with air washing, such as mink, wool, silk and other fabrics that are not suitable for washing.

In addition, the air wash can also sterilize and expel mites for large stuffed clothing such as silk quilts, plush toys, down jackets, etc., fluffy dust, and can also be used for the maintenance of various leather luxury products. If you use this function in the dryer because the dryer is generally given a bracket, the fixed bracket will not rotate, and you can put a leather bag, belt, leather shoes, etc. on it, so as to moisturize the leather goods and enhance the luster.

In short, the original intention of air washing is not to wash clothes, but more suitable for the care of clothes. If you want to wash dirty clothes, it is better to wash them honestly and practically. After air washing, the clothes will be more textured and comfortable to wear. If you often socialize, a washing machine with an air wash function is a good choice, which can not only remove bacteria and odors but also take care of clothes.
