A washing machine is provided. The washing machine includes: a washing/dewatering drum for accommodating the washings; an electric motor for driving the washing/dewatering drum to rotate; and a microcomputer. In a rinsing process of a washing operation in a water saving mode, the microcomputer continuously performs a dewatering-rinsing process for a plurality of times rather than executing a water-storage rinsing process for rotating a rotating wing while water stored in the washing/dewatering drum reaches a specified water level. The dewatering-rinsing process includes: a water supplying process of supplying water to the washing/dewatering drum so that the washings are saturated by water, and an intermediate dewatering process or a final dewatering process executed immediately after the water supplying process. A maximum rotating speed of the motor in the intermediate dewatering process immediately before the water supplying process is lower than a maximum rotating speed of in the final dewatering process.

A method of adding a multi-application insect repellent additive (hereafter, “the additive”) includes the steps of: providing the additive, immersing a textile in a fluid medium including the additive within a laundry-cleaning apparatus, disseminating the additive throughout the fluid medium and the textile, partially removing the fluid medium from the textile and drying the textile. After completing these steps, the additive is retained by the textile. In the disclosed embodiment, the additive may be formed of permethrin, encapsulated natural extracts, and or other disclosed formulations.

The object of the present disclosure is to provide a washing machine capable of detecting that washings in a washing drum are in a state unsuitable for a dewatering process in a phase earlier than the dewatering process. The washing machine includes: a washing drum; a stirring component; a motor; and a microcomputer for controlling water supply and drainage for the washing drum or controlling a voltage applied to the motor to rotate the stirring component. During a washing process, the microcomputer obtains an index which indicates a size of resistance generated by the washings in the washing drum to rotation of the stirring component. When the index exceeds a specified threshold since the resistance in the washing process is less than a specified resistance, the microcomputer judges that the washings in the washing drum are in a state unsuitable for the dewatering process.

A diaper sprayer flow director and splash back guard including an impermeable, conical splash back guard having an open base and a truncated apex attachable to a diaper sprayer head, wherein water forcibly ejected from the diaper sprayer head is directable within the splash back guard to contact a target surface or object positioned proximal or in contact with the open base, whereby splash back effected during cleaning said target is contained interior to the splash back guard and contamination of surrounding and proximal objects and surfaces is avoidable.
