Method for the wet treatment of laundry

A method for wet treatment of laundry, with the laundry being at least washed in a rotary driven drum (12) characterized in that:

• a. the drum (12) is driven with different two different constant rotational frequencies,
• b. the drum (12) is brought from the higher rotational frequency to the lower rotational frequency in a braking phase, the drum (12) is brought from the lower rotational frequency to the higher rotational frequency in an acceleration phase, and the braking and acceleration of the drum (12) occurs between the phases of driving the drum (12) with a constant lower frequency and a constant higher rotational frequency,
• c. the drum (12) is driven with the higher frequency over a greater segment (23) of its revolution,
• d. the acceleration of the drum (12) to the higher rotational frequency occurs continuously, and
• e. a greater segment (23) of the circumference of the drum (12) driven with a higher rotation frequency is greater than a smaller segment (24) of the circumference of the drum (12) which is driven with a lower rotational frequency.
