Wash method refers to the various movements used by different washing machines to wash the clothes during their wash cycles. There are different wash methods: (1) agitator, (2) pulsator, (3) tumble (4) turbo drum, (5) pulgitator, etc.

Manufacturing companies try to replicate the movements of manual (hand) wash as closely as possible when designing their wash mechanisms.

It helps get clothes cleaner.

One-touch washing machines are those with electronic controls and sensors (fuzzy logic machines).

The sensors in the machine are able to detect the type of load and then determine the water level, temperature and the wash-time best for the load.

The whole wash process requires no manual settings and the wash cycle operates at the push of a button.

A digital display screen shows the current status of the washing cycle.

Displays are usually found in high end machines with electronic controls.

This helps the user to know how much time remains for the wash process to end.

The child lock prevents unauthorised opening of the lid while the machine is yet in operation.

You can also lock the control panel and knobs preventing any one from accidentally making changes to the wash programme.

This feature is useful for homes with children and is also a safety feature.
