Abstract

A washing machine includes a water tub (7), a rotating tub (9) rotatably mounted in the water tub (7) so that laundry is put into the rotating tub, a water supply (38, 45) for supplying water into the water tub (7), a driver (16, 86) for rotating the rotating tub (9), and a control device (86) for controlling the water supply (38, 45) and the driver (16, 86) so that a washing operation is carried out for the laundry. The control device (86) carries out the washing operation under a non-low-foaming detergent mode suitable for a case where a detergent used is a non-low-foaming detergent.
