What is a "washing machine"?

A washing machine is a household appliance used for washing clothes. It uses a combination of water, detergent, and mechanical action to remove dirt and stains from clothes. The washing machine typically has a drum or basin that holds the clothes, which is filled with water and detergent. The drum rotates, agitating the clothes and allowing the detergent to penetrate the fabric. After the wash cycle, the water is drained and the clothes are spun at high speeds to remove excess water. Modern washing machines often come with various features such as different wash cycles for different types of fabrics, automatic dispensing of detergent, and energy-efficient settings.

What is "ironing"?

Ironing is a process that involves the use of a heated flat surface, known as an iron, to remove wrinkles and creases from clothing or other textiles. It is usually done after washing and drying clothes and can help to give them a crisp, polished appearance. Ironing can be done using various techniques and can also involve the use of steam, starch, or other products to help smooth out the fabric. While ironing is a common household chore, it is also an important part of the textile industry, where it is used to finish garments before they are sold.
