The spraying assembly 130 is connected with the water collecting assembly 110 and includes a water spraying opening arranged towards the door seal 200. The spraying assembly 130 is used to extract the electrolytic water and spray the electrolytic water to the door seal 200 through the water spraying opening.

[0045] It should be noted that the clothes treatment device 10 has a clothes treatment tub 400, a drying air duct, and a heat pump system including the heat exchanger 300, the drying air duct is connected with the clothes treatment tub 400 to form a circulating air cavity, and the heat pump system is arranged in the drying air duct. In actual application, the wet hot air in the clothes treatment tub 400 flows into the drying air duct, exchanges heat with the heat exchanger 300 in the drying air duct to form dry hot air, and the dry hot air flows back into the clothes treatment tub 400 to evaporate and take away the moisture in the clothes, and the process is repeated to gradually dry the clothes. In the process of heat exchange with the heat exchanger 300, the wet hot air condenses to form liquid water, that is, condensate, when the condensate on the surface of the heat exchanger 300 reaches a certain amount, it will fall into the water collecting assembly 110. The heat exchanger 300 can include an evaporator and a condenser.

[0046] The water in the water collecting assembly 110 is electrolyzed by the electrolysis assembly 120 to form electrolytic water with strong oxidizing property, and the electrolytic water with strong oxidizing property can sterilize and deodorize the door seal 200 when sprayed into the door seal 200.

[0047] The cleaning device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application collects the condensate and electrolyzes the condensate by the electrolysis assembly 120 to obtain electrolytic water with strong oxidizing property, and the electrolytic water with strong oxidizing property can wash and sterilize and deodorize the door seal 200, thereby avoiding the accumulation of dander and dust in the door seal 200 and the breeding of bacteria to bring bad user experience.

[0048] For example, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 The structure diagram of the electrolysis assembly provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown. The electrolysis assembly 120 includes an anode plate 121, a cathode plate 122, and an insulating spacer 123.
