Washing machines clean clothes by using water, detergent, and mechanical action. When you put your clothes in the machine, it fills with water and mixes in the detergent. The drum of the machine rotates back and forth, moving the clothes around in the water and detergent.
This motion helps to loosen and remove dirt and stains from the clothes. The water and detergent then drain out, and the machine refills with clean water for rinsing.
The drum continues to spin to remove any remaining soap or dirt.
After the rinse cycle, the machine will spin the clothes very quickly to remove most of the water. Finally, the cycle is complete, and your clothes are clean and ready to be dried.
Structure of a washing machine
A washing machine is a big box with a door that you can open to put your dirty clothes inside. When you turn it on, it fills with water and soap to clean the clothes. The inside part of the washing machine that holds the clothes is called the drum, and it moves back and forth to get the clothes clean. After a while, the dirty water is drained out, and the machine fills up with clean water to rinse the clothes. Then, the drum spins again to get rid of the rinse water. Finally, you take your clean clothes out and dry them!

Invention of washing mashine
Before washing machines were invented, people would wash their clothes by hand using a washboard and a bucket of soapy water. This was a lot of work, and it took a long time to get clothes clean.
James King, an American inventor, came up with the idea of a washing machine that could make the clothes move around in the water by turning a handle. His washing machine was a big metal drum that you could fill with water and soap, and then turn the handle to make the drum rotate. This would make the clothes inside move around and get clean.
Over time, washing machines became more advanced. Electric motors were added so that people didn't have to turn a handle anymore, and different settings were added to wash different types of clothes. Today, there are even more advanced washing machines that can sense how dirty the clothes are and add the right amount of water and detergent automatically.
Washing machines have made a big difference in people's lives. They make washing clothes much easier and faster, which gives us more time to do other things we enjoy!
