Abstract (en)

A method for improving washing performances in a washing machine (10) having a perforated drum with a substantially horizontal axis comprises rotating the drum at a low tumbling speed according to a cyclic sequence of rotation intervals in both directions, wherein said cyclic sequence comprises, at predetermined intervals, a rotation of the drum at a fast speed (F) so that only a portion of the laundry load is retained against the drum wall by centrifugal force.
