Abstract (en)

A method of rinsing laundry in a laundry machine (100) with a washing tub (110) accommodating a rotatable laundry drum (115), the method comprising the steps of: loading rinsing water into the tub; rotating the drum at a first rotation speed while recirculating the rinsing water present in the tub and spraying the recirculated rinsing water into the drum; evacuating the rinsing water present in the tub. Before said step of evacuating the rinsing water, the drum is rotated at a second rotation speed for a predetermined first time interval, said second rotation speed being higher than the first rotation speed and sufficient to cause the laundry being rinsed to stick against an inner surface of the drum due to centrifugal force. Then the drum rotation is stopped for a predetermined second time interval, and after said second time interval, a part of the rinsing water present in the tub is discharged from the tub.
