Problems solved by technology

However, there is a problem with the soaking program: too much wash water is consumed
So the soak program may be run infrequently
[0011] Third, there is no additional procedure to sanitize the clothes in the regular washing program
However, this hygienic function is not preferred because it uses too much wash water and energy to sanitize clothes
[0012] Finally, regular clothes dryers and washing machines with a drying function can create creases in dried clothes
Therefore, in order to smooth the wrinkles, the clothes after drying have to be ironed, which is inconvenient.
