WASHING MACHINE, BOOT PURIFYING AID, BOOT TRAY AND BOOT ATTACHMENT

摘要

It is an object of the present invention to provide a washing machine capable of advantageously sanitizing a boot with cleaning air. A tubular member (25) of a boot attachment (30) is inserted in the boot (70) with a sufficient clearance, and an upper end portion (43) of the tubular member (25) is exposed from a top (70B) of the boot (70). A second lower vent (34) provided in a lower portion of the tubular member (25) is directed to a toe portion (70C) in the boot (70), and a first intermediate vent (35) and a second intermediate vent (36) are provided in a vertically intermediate portion of the tubular member (25). Cleaning air supplied into a drum (8) of the washing machine is smoothly introduced into the tubular member (25) of the boot attachment (30) by the upper end portion (43) to flow down through the tubular member (25). The cleaning air flows out of the tubular member (25) through the first intermediate vent (35), the second intermediate vent (36) and the second lower vent (34) to spread inside the boot (70). Thus, the inside of the boot (70) is sanitized with the cleaning air.
