✓ For example, using a washing machine ensures clothes are cleaned thoroughly and hygienically, while sewing machines make cleaning easier.
The word 'hygienic' is an adjective but here it should be an adverb 'hygienically' to modify the verb 'cleaned'. Also, 'make cleaning floats' is incorrect and unclear; it should be 'make cleaning easier' to convey the intended meaning.
