Solution
Soaking
Explanation:
The image shows coloured garments fully immersed in a tub of soapy water and foam, representing the soaking stage of laundering. Soaking involves keeping clothes submerged in a detergent solution for a specific period before actual washing to loosen the dirt and stains attached to the fabric fibres. This process softens tough dirt particles, making it much easier to clean clothes with minimal friction or rubbing during subsequent washing.
