Abstract (en)

Embodiments of the present application provide a clothes washing method, a clothes processing device and a control apparatus comprising a storage medium. The clothes washing method includes: providing a certain volume of water to a clothes processing device and increasing a rotational speed of a drum to a set rotational speed; turning on a circulating pump to spray water onto a load in the clothes processing device to wet the load; determining whether the load is fully wetted, and if not, replenishing water and repeating the spraying step until the load is completely wetted; turning on a draining pump to drain free water; and opening an air heating tube to heat air; turning on a fan to make the heated air flow to form hot air, and make the hot air pass through and heat the load; and washing the load. Such clothes washing method forms a heating washing mode which may be selected according to the mass of the load and which may complete the washing process efficiently. By using such method also called as a steam thermal washing mode, the wet and hot load may be fully contacted and beaten with the drum of the clothes processing device, thereby efficiently completing the heating washing process. Further, the washing method may include: detecting mass of a load put in a clothes processing device; determining whether the mass of the load is greater than a first threshold; if yes, executing a first heating washing mode; and if not, executing a second heating washing mode. Different heating washing modes are selected according to the mass of the load, to efficiently complete the washing process.
