摘要： Validating a wash process includes establishing a surrogate reference standard by acquiring data of a candidate wash process and, additionally, including a standard cleaning marker and a standard decontamination marker; determining, through laboratory testing of the markers, that the candidate wash process was effective in cleaning and/or decontaminating the textiles washed; and, recording the acquired data and/or a function of the acquired data. A subsequent wash process then is validated by acquiring data of the subsequent wash process in the same way as in the candidate was process; recording the acquired data of the subsequent wash process in association with unique identifiers of textiles washed; and comparing the result of the function of the acquired data of the subsequent wash process with the result of the function of the acquired data of the candidate wash process, whereby the subsequent wash process is deemed effective upon a successful comparison.

摘要： A method for the hygienic treatment of textiles in a washing machine, including a step of receiving an end signal, wherein the end signal represents an end of a washing programme of the washing machine. In addition, the method includes a step of reading a door contact signal, wherein the door contact signal represents a state of a door of the washing machine, and a step of providing a start option signal to a user interface if no opening of the door has been recognized using the door contact signal within a predefined time period started in response to the end signal, in order to provide a user with a selection option for starting a hygiene rinse programme.

摘要： Disclosed herein are a washing machine and a control method thereof. The control method effectively transmits high-concentration wash liquid to laundry, while minimizing the amount of water used, through washing using bubbles, and maximizes the increase in volume of the wash liquid rubbed on the inner circumferential surface of the drum using the generation of bubbles and the rotation of the drum to raise the water level of the wash liquid without additional water.

摘要： Methods, system and apparatus for the monitor of laundry machines to identify malfunctioning laundry machines in a laundry facility. The system may initiate a power cycle procedure on the identified malfunctioning laundry machines, causing any errors to be cleared from the malfunctioning laundry machine. A determination may then be made as to whether the identification of a malfunction was a true positive or a false positive, and a technician may be dispatched if the malfunctioning machine does not return to normal operation after completing the power cycle procedure.
