这是洗衣机？还是熨斗？都是：这款499美元家具可同时对衣服进行清洁和熨烫

Realising at the last minute your favouritedress is dirty, or you don’t have a clean shirt for an important meeting couldsoon be a thing of the past.
在你就要参加重要会面时却发现自己最喜欢的衣服还没洗，这种情况将一去不复返。

The Swash is a washing machine and iron inone that refreshes clothes, removes odours and flattens out wrinkles at thepress of a button - and does so all in the time it takes to have a shower.
这种Swash产品是洗衣机和熨斗一体机，可对衣服进行清新和去除异味，并且按下按钮后还能熨烫——所需要的时间相当于洗一次澡。

Pods of liquid are sprayed directly ontothe clothes, before a drier circulates air through the device, and a dirty itemis ready to wear in just 10 minutes.
将洗衣液直接洒在衣服上，在一个吹风机的作用下，空气循环通过该设备，十分钟后衣服就可以穿了。

The $499 (£292) Swash was designed by Whirlpool and P&G and is 54-inches(1.3 metres) tall and 17-inches (43cm)wide.
这款机器由惠尔普和保洁联合设计，高1.3米，宽43厘米。

The clothes hanger sits inside the machine, which is 30-inches (76cm) long when closed and 55-inches(1.39 metres) long when extended.
衣架位于机器内部，关闭时76厘米长，摊开时1.39米长。

The companies claim this makes Swash ideal for a bedroom or closet - especiallyif people no longer need an ironing board.
两家公司称这款机器可放在卧室或者小房间里——特别是当人们不再需要烫衣板时。

Lights on the top of the Swash count downcycle lengths and will alert users when their clothes are ready to use.
机器顶部的灯会倒计时计算设定的时间，一旦完成后就会提醒主人。

'We have talked to thousands of people overthe years that have told us they are yearning for a better way to care forclothing in between laundering and dry cleaning,' said Charles Pierce, grouppresident of P&G New Business Creation.

'Swash gets clothes ready to wear quickly,effectively, easily and without requiring extensive resources.'

The Swash system uses weights to hold clothes in place, while liquid is sprayedacross the clothes, on the front and back.
该系统利用重量将衣服固定住，洗衣液直接洒在衣服表面上。

The thermal drying function heat andcirculates air through the clothes, and when this air hits the liquid in thefibres, it steams out the creases.

Swash doesn’t need water, and also doesn’tneed to be plumbed in, making it fully portable.
这款系统不需要水的参与，也不需要仔细研究如何使用，所以非常方便。

It can be used on denim, wool, polyester, Lycra, cotton, cashmere, sequins,beading and lace.
