Abstract

A washing method with polymer solid particles comprises: step 1: washing clothes with the polymer solid particles, the surface of said polymer solid particles is provided with absorption holes; step 2: dehydrating the polymer solid particles and the clothes together; step 3: separating the polymer solid particles from the clothes and collecting the polymer solid particles; step 4: rinsing the clothes; and step 5: dehydrating the clothes. Before separating the polymer solid particles from the clothes, there is a step of dehydrating the polymer solid particles and the clothes together, so the user can easily separate the polymer solid particles from the clothes.

Claims (32)

1. A washing method with polymer solid particles, the method comprising:

step 1: washing clothes with the polymer solid particles, wherein the surface of said polymer solid particles is provided with absorption holes;

step 2: dehydrating the polymer solid particles and the clothes together;

step 3: separating the polymer solid particles from the clothes and collecting the polymer solid particles;

step 4: rinsing the clothes; and

step 5: dehydrating the clothes.

2. The washing method with polymer solid particles according to claim 1 , wherein the washing method further comprises another step of adding water and detergent into the polymer solid particles and the clothes before step 1.

3. The washing method with polymer solid particles according to claim 1 , wherein the washing in step 1 occurs at a rotational speed-in the range of 50-70 rpm.

4. The washing method with polymer solid particles according to claim 1 , wherein washing time in step 1 is in a range of 15-60 minutes.

5. The washing method with polymer solid particles according to claim 1 , wherein said polymer solid particles in step 1 contain 5% to 10%_magnetic material.

6. The washing method with polymer solid particles according to claim 4 , wherein the washing time is in the range of 30-50 minutes.

7. The washing method with polymer solid particles according to claim 6 , wherein the washing time is 40 minutes.

8. The washing method with polymer solid particles according to claim 1 , wherein the washing is in cold water.

9. The washing method with polymer solid particles according to claim 1 , wherein the clothes are washed in a washing device having an inner cylinder, and the speed of the inner cylinder is in the range of 1000-2000 rpm during dehydrating in step 2.

10. The washing method with polymer solid particles according to claim 1 , wherein the polymer solid particles and the clothes are separated in a magnetic field in step 3.

11. The washing method with polymer solid particles according to claim 1 , wherein the clothes are washed in a washing device having an inner cylinder, and the speed of the inner cylinder is in the range of 200-600 rpm during collecting the polymer solid particles in step 3.

12. The washing method with polymer solid particles according to claim 1 , wherein rinsing time in step 4 is in a range of 3 to 10 minutes.

13. The washing method with polymer solid particles according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of separating the polymer solid particles remaining in the clothes between step 3 and step 4.

14. The washing method with polymer solid particles according to claim 13 , wherein the clothes are washed in a washing device having an inner cylinder, and wherein separating the polymer solid particles remaining in the clothes includes cycling through a cycle having the following steps: the inner cylinder of the washing device drives the clothes to rotate by a preset angle, and then the inner cylinder stops rotating for a preset time.

15. The washing method with polymer solid particles according to claim 14 , wherein the cycle has a time of 1-50 minutes.
