Solution

Centrifugation is a technique for removing water from wet clothing.
When a colloidal solution or a very small suspension is spun fast, the heavier particles are driven to the bottom of the liquid, while the lighter particles are forced to the top.
The centrifugal force generated in the spin cycle of the washing machine drives water out of the fabric, allowing for faster drying.
Thus Centrifugation is used to separate water from wet clothes in washing machines.
