Delicate clothes like winter wear, suits, and trousers are often damaged when you wash them in traditional washing machines. Due to that, many of us send those types of clothes for a dry wash.
But how about doing the dry wash at home?
That’s what I am going to talk about in this article, and we will learn what air wash is in Samsung washing machines.
What Is Air Wash In Samsung Washing Machines?
Traditional washing machines use detergent and water to clean clothes. But air washing does not require any of those. It can clean clothes using hot air only.
It can remove dirt, unpleasant smells, microscopic allergens, harmful bacteria, microbes, etc. Isn’t it great that hot air can remove all this stuff from your clothes?
The air wash mechanism consists of a heater coil that produces the heat and a blower to blow the hot air.
Hot air penetrates the clothes and removes the dirt. The hot air can also kill all germs and bacteria. So after air washing, your clothes will be washed as well as sanitized.
Air washing is equivalent to dry washing clothes that you see in the shop. So, with an air wash, you can stop going to a dry wash shop, as you can do that at home. This will save you some money and time.
Currently, this air wash feature is only available in some Samsung washing machines.
