Abstract (en)
A washing machine which removes offensive odour from laundry without a need to operate wash, rinse and/or dehydration modes and a method of deodorizing laundry. The washing machine includes a deodorizing tub (21) into which objects to be deodorized are placed, a duct (30) to communicate with the deodorizing tub (21) and to serve as a passage through which air containing odour particles, which are separated from the objects in the deodorizing tub (21) passes, and a deodorizing agent spray device (31a) to spray a deodorizing agent to separate the odour particles from the air passing through the duct (30). The method of deodorizing includes the separating odour particles from objects to be deodorized and removing the separated odour particles by dissolving the separated odour particles in water and then discharging the particles.
