Abstract

PURPOSE: To improve efficiency of washing by attachably/detachably holding a wash blocking body blocking the floating of wash housed in a washing tank to a water surface on the inner wall part of the washing tank. CONSTITUTION: Wash 13 and a detergent are thrown into a washing tank 5 and in a case when the wash 13 includes clothes sewn of chemical fiber material of low absorbability and a specific gravity smaller than that of water, the net like part 10a of a floating blocking body 10 is horizontally arranged to be positioned nearly in the center of the tank 5. Thus, the clothes of a light weight trying to float to the water surface are forcedly pushed into water and efficiently washed with a water flow. In addition, at the time of completing washing, the engaging part 11d of the floating blocking body 10 is pressurized by a finger, or the like, to reduce its diameter and is pulled out from the through hole 9d of a holding part 10 to remove the body 10 from the inside of the tank 5, thereby the wash can freely be taken out from the washing tank 5.
