WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/012941
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a washing machine in which an operation/display section (5) is used to set an operation course for successively performing a sterilization/deodorizing step and a washing step, and to make a setting for a reserved operation of the operation course. During the reserved operation that has been set, when a predetermined time is reached, a sterilization/deodorizing device (3) is intermittently operated for predetermined ON/OFF durations. Then, clothing (20) in the washing tub (2) is caused to release an efficacy substance, such as charged microparticle water. Thereafter, the washing step is operated. In this way, it is possible to suppress the growth of germs that have become attached to the clothing (20) in the washing tub (2), and a resultant increase in odor. The intermittent operation makes it possible to provide a washing machine with which an increase in durability of devices and a decrease in energy consumption can be achieved.
