Laundry washing is the process of cleaning clothes and textiles using water and detergent. The main goal is to remove dirt, stains, and odors from fabrics. This can be done by hand or with a machine, such as a washing machine, which automates the process. Detergents are specially formulated cleaning agents that help break down stains and lift dirt from fabrics. After washing, clothes are typically rinsed to remove any remaining detergent and then dried, either by air drying or using a clothes dryer. Proper laundry washing helps maintain the quality and longevity of garments.
