To make it possible to sterilize laundry in addition to the drying of laundry.
During a drying process, the temperature of hot air being fed by a hot air feeding device is temporarily (for 30 minutes) increased (50 to 60°C). Also, the selection-execution of a second hot air feeding process wherein hot air having a higher temperature than the hot air being fed in the drying process is fed to the inside of a tub may be made possible separately from the drying process as a different process. In addition, a period wherein the rotation of the tub or an agitating body is stopped during the feeding of the hot air may be provided. Also, a holding member which holds laundry at a directly lee side location of a hot air blow-in port for blowing in the hot air may be provided.
