Abstract
A laundry machine (1) in which metal ions produced by an ion eluting unit (100) can be input into water at the last rinsing step. The time for the last rinsing step at which metal ions are input is longer than that for the step at which no metal ions are input. When metal ions are input, in the rinsing step, a strong flow time and a weak flow time are provided, or a strong flow time and a rest time are provided. If any imbalance during drying rotation of the washing tub (30) after metal ion input is detected, a processing different from that carried out if an imbalance is detected when no metal ions are input is carried out.
Claims16
A washer wherein antimicrobial metal ions can be added in to water and attached to a surface of laundry in a predetermined process in a laundry washing session,
- wherein a time of the predetermined process is longer when metal ions are added than when no metal ions are added.
A washer wherein antimicrobial metal ions can be added in to water and attached to a surface of laundry in a predetermined process in a laundry washing session,
- wherein the predetermined process includes a powerful swirl period and a mild swirl period or a powerful swirl period and a still period.
A washer wherein antimicrobial metal ions can be added in to water in a predetermined process in a laundry washing session,
- wherein when uneven spreading of laundry is detected during squeezing rotation of a washing tub after addition of metal ions, a countermeasure to be adapted is different from that when uneven spreading of laundry is detected while no metal ions are added.
