Abstract
The inventive washing machine is capable of hygienically and properly performing a rinsing operation with the use of bathwater. The washing machine includes a bathwater pump (), so that bathwater can be retained in a washing tub (). A water circulation passage () is provided for circulating laundry water to the washing tub (). The bathwater retained in the washing tub () is circulated through the water circulation passage, and ozone generated by an ozone generator () is mixed with the circulated water, whereby the water (bathwater) is cleaned. This water cleaning operation is performed in a rinsing step. When the ozone is supplied in the rinsing step, the ozone is effective to sterilize the bathwater and decompose dirt and odorant of laundry. Therefore, the rinsing operation to be performed in this manner is comparable to a rinsing operation to be performed with the use of tap water.
