The term WASHING MACHINE CYCLE is composed of four parts: RINSE (5 letters), PRESOAK (7 letters), SOAK (4 letters), and SPIN (4 letters). The washing machine cycle is the process of cleaning clothes in a washing machine. The first step is to RINSE the clothes, which involves running water through them to remove dirt and debris. Next, the clothes are presoaked, which is a process of soaking them in a detergent solution for a period of time. After that, the clothes are soaked in clean water to remove any remaining dirt or detergent. Finally, the clothes are spun in the washing machine to remove excess water.
