FULL-AUTOMATIC WASHING MACHINE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem associated with conventional full-automatic washing machines, specifically in the case of washing extra-dirty clothes where a user needs to operate the machine by setting the washing step for washing with detergent and a final dewatering step, of the full-automatic washing course, and, when the operation is finished, introduce the detergent once again and reset for the full-automatic course to operate the machine, thus requiring a user to come to the machine when the operation is finished after the washing step and the dewatering step, which is cumbersome.SOLUTION: In the case of a prescribed course being selected, a detergent is put not only into a place for it but also into a place for a soft-finishing agent. During a washing step, the detergent placed in the place for detergent is introduced, and water-supply, agitation and draining steps are performed. Thereafter, the detergent placed in the place for soft-finishing agent is introduced, and water-supply, agitation and draining steps are performed again. Thereafter, a rinsing step is performed without introducing the soft-finishing agent.
