ADVANTAGES OF TUMBLE WASH
q MOST EFFECTIVE CLEANING AS THE CLOTHES PASS THROUGH
SOAPY WATER AND ALSO FALL ON SOAP SOLUTION IMPROVING
WETTING OF CLOTHES.
q RESEMBLES THE THUMPING AND RUBBING ACTION OF GENTLE
HAND WASH.
q USES LESS WATER COMPARED TO TUB TYPE TOP LOADERS.
q LESS WATER MEANS LESS DETERGENT AND ELECTRICITY
CONSUMPTION.
q WASHING IS EFFECTIVE BY DETERGENCY, SOAKING, HEATING,
TUMBLING AND SQUEEZING.
q GIVES BETTER DRYING EFFECT BY SPINNING.
