Abstract: A laundry treatment method and apparatus are provided. The laundry treatment method includes (a) choosing one of a first operating course in which a set of operating conditions are determined based on the weight of laundry and a second operating course in which the operating conditions are determined based on a plurality of operating variables; and (b) treating the laundry according to whichever of the first and second operating courses is chosen.

Abstract: A laundry treatment method and apparatus are provided. The laundry treatment method includes (a) measuring the amount of detergent in wash water in a tub during a rinsing operation; and (b) automatically determining whether to continue performing the rinsing operation based on a plurality of operating variables including the amount of detergent in the wash water.

Abstract: A deodorization apparatus and a washing machine having the same are provided. The washing machine having the deodorization apparatus includes a tub including a ventilator, and a deodorization apparatus disposed outside the tub, having one side that communicates with the tub, and removing an laundry odor by injecting air into the tub. Therefore, the laundry odor can be quickly removed, and water and power consumption and damage to the laundry, which are caused by a washing operation using the water for deodorization of the laundry, can be prevented.

Abstract: A wash water sensing apparatus of a laundry treatment machine is provided. The wash water sensing apparatus includes a sealing cover coupled to the tub by being inserted into a hole of the tub, the sealing cover including a through hole; and a sensor body including a plurality of electrodes for measuring the conductivity of wash water and coupled to the sealing cover by being inserted into the through hole. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the structure of a laundry treatment machine and facilitate the assembly of a laundry treatment machine.

Abstract: A washing machine and an associated washing method are provided. The method may include supplying washing fluid into a drum containing laundry, repeatedly dropping the laundry while rotating the drum in a predetermined direction, and drawing the laundry towards or separating the laundry from the inner circumferential surface of the drum by repeatedly accelerating and decelerating the drum.

Abstract: A washing machine and associated washing method are provided. The washing machine may include a cabinet, a drum rotatably installed in the cabinet, and a spray nozzle provided inside the cabinet to spray washing fluid into the drum. A spraying direction of the spray nozzle may be varied based on a rotation direction of the drum to improve washing performance of the washing machine.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a clothing treating apparatus. The clothing treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a clothing holding unit in the cabinet for holding clothing, and a steam generator for generating steam or superheated steam to supply to the clothing holding space, thereby permitting to remove rumples from the clothing and microbes from the clothing possible to remain thereon.

Abstract: Disclosed is the washing/drying machine including a fragrance supplying means for supplying fragrance, and a heat supplying means for supplying heat to promote evaporation of a fragrance source stored in the fragrance supplying means. The washing/drying machine uses heat supplied by the heat supplying means so as to promote evaporation of a fragrance source in the fragrance supplying means, thereby increasing efficiency in fragrance supply.

Abstract: An operating method for a drum type laundry machine including a drum (300) for receiving laundry, an air supply unit (600) for supplying air into the drum (300), and a steam generation unit (400) supplying steam into the drum (300), the operating method comprising the steps of supplying cool air into the drum (300) to remove dust from the laundry; supplying steam into the drum (300) to remove wrinkles from the laundry; and resupplying cool air into the drum (300).

Abstract: A method for removing odor of laundry in a washing machine comprises inputting laundry into an inner tub, supplying steam to the laundry, and rotating the inner tub. Odor of the laundry is rapidly and easily removed without performing a cleaning process using water, and the fabrication cost is reduced.

Abstract: A washing machine with an odor removal function includes a cabinet, a tub received in the cabinet and including an intake port and an exhaust port so as to receive and discharge air, and a washing tub rotatably provided in the tub. Here, ambient air flows into the tub through the intake port by a suction force generated when the washing tub rotates and air inside the washing tub flows to the outside, such that odor of laundry is removed. Therefore, a washing machine with an odor removal function capable of easily and quickly removing laundry odor is provided.
