> How does adding latent heat reduce the sensible heat? Are the clothes washed in very cold water?

You're not adding latent heat to a room, you're adding water, which when evaporating uses up the heat energy in the room which cools it down.

Look into how swamp chillers work.

Adding water to the air is literally adding latent heat. That's what the term means. Point taken about how that decreases sensible heat, though, thanks.
