A laundry machine is an appliance used to wash clothes and textiles. It typically consists of a drum that rotates to agitate the water and detergent, helping to remove dirt and stains. Most machines have different settings for various fabric types and soil levels, allowing users to customize their wash cycles. After washing, many laundry machines also have a spin cycle that removes excess water from the clothes. This feature helps reduce drying time when using a clothes dryer or hanging clothes to dry. Laundry machines come in various sizes and styles, including front-loading and top-loading models.
