Wash cycle for oxidizing agents

A method for operating a clothes washer in accordance with a selected wash cycle, the clothes washer having a wash zone defined within a rotating drum having an outer wall, for receiving a load of fabric, comprising the steps:

• in a first washing segment of the wash cycle:
• dispensing only a first wash liquor to the wash zone of the clothes washer, rotating the drum of the washer at a speed sufficient to move the fabric load toward the outer wall of the drum and recirculating the first wash liquor through the fabric load and wash zone, all during a first period of time, then
• flexing the fabric load during a second period of time, then
• in a second, subsequent washing segment of the wash cycle and while maintaining the first wash liquor in the wash zone:
• dispensing only a second, different wash liquor to the wash zone to mix with the first wash liquor, rotating the drum of the washer at a speed sufficient to move the fabric load toward the outer wall of the drum and recirculating the mixed first and second liquor through the fabric load and wash zone during a third period of time, one of the wash liquors being a detergent wash liquor and the other of the wash liquors being an oxidizing agent wash liquor with a concentrated oxidizing agent that is 40% to 79% active, then
• completing the remainder of the wash cycle including the steps of rinsing the fabric load with a rinse fluid and extracting the rinse fluid from the fabric load.

• in a first washing segment of the wash cycle:
• dispensing a volume of a detergent wash liquor to the wash zone and recirculating the concentrated detergent wash liquor through the fabric load and the wash zone,
• in a second, separate washing segment of the wash cycle:
• dispensing a volume of an oxidizing agent wash liquor with a concentrated oxidizing agent that is 40% to 79% active to the wash zone, and thereafter
• completing the remainder of the wash cycle including the steps of rinsing the fabric load with a rinse fluid and extracting the rinse fluid from the fabric load.
