By the combination of the cover and the body, the high temperature steam is supplied from the nose to the inside of the sealed chamber, and the high temperature steam serves to call the foreign substance attached to the brush.
The high-temperature washing water injected at a high speed after the soaking operation acts on the brush to release the foreign substances adhering to the brush. At this time, the brush is rotated by the motor, and the high-temperature and high-pressure washing water contacts the entire brush.
The rotation of the brush changes the rotational speed by dividing the time of spraying the washing water and the time of the fine powder, and the rotational speed of the brush is controlled by the control unit. The foreign matter adhering to the brush is separated by the washing water and is released by the centrifugal force by the rotation of the brush.
Dry air is blown into the brush to dry the brush after foreign substances adhering to the brush are released, and moisture adhering to the brush is released by the air.
