Abstract (en)
A washing method in a washing machine including a semi-drying cycle, in which a spin-drying process and a disentangling process are repeatedly carried out several times in the semi-drying cycle(B) at a speed lower than a spin-drying speed in a main spin-drying cycle. A washing mode involving the semi-drying cycle(B) may be selectively inputted. In accordance with the washing method, wash water is heated in a rinsing cycle(A30). In the semi-drying cycle, the spin-drying process(A40) is repeatedly executed at a spin-drying speed gradually increased as the semi-drying cycle progresses. In accordance with the washing method, it is possible to spin-dry the clothes to a water extraction rate of about 55 to 70%, while minimizing damage to the clothes and formation of wrinkles on the clothes. <IMAGE>
