Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0102639A1] A method for washing laundry items is described, in particular items made of fabrics being subject to dimensional variations, like for instance items which undergo slackening and/or felting, in a home washing machine. Rinsing stages (RS1, RS2, RS3, RS4) are provided, during which the laundry basket is rotated, in presence of water and/or foam in the tank, at a first angular speed equal to or greater than the lowest speed allowing the laundry items to be kept adherent to the basket walls. According to the invention, during the time interval (CI1, CI2, CI3) between one of said rinsing stages (RS1, RS2, RS3) and the following one (RS2, RS3, RS4), the basket is kept constantly rotating, without reversing its rotation sense, in particular at an angular speed equal to or greater than the lowest speed allowing the laundry items to be kept adherent to the basket walls.
