The term 'washer cycle' refers to the sequence of steps that a washing machine follows when washing clothes. The five steps in the washer cycle are RINSE (5 letters), SPIN (4 letters), presoak (7 letters), SOAK (4 letters), and spindry (7 letters) followed by permanentpress (14 letters). RINSE is the first step in the cycle, where the clothes are rinsed with water to remove dirt and detergent. SPIN is the second step, where the clothes are spun at high speed to remove excess water. Presoak is the third step, where the clothes are soaked in a detergent solution for a period of time. SOAK is the fourth step, where the clothes are soaked in a detergent solution for a longer period of time. Spindry is the fifth step, where the clothes are spun at a lower speed to remove more water. Finally, permanentpress is the last step, where the clothes are dried at a low temperature to reduce wrinkles.
