What is drain and spin?

Drain and spin is a cycle on a washing machine that is typically used to remove excess water from clothing after they have been washed. The cycle starts by draining out the dirty water from the washing machine and then spinning the clothes at a high speed to remove as much water as possible. This helps to reduce the drying time needed for the clothes and also helps to prevent damage to the washing machine from excess water. The drain and spin cycle is usually the final step in a washing machine cycle before the clothes are removed for drying.
