The operation of the above construction will be described. After the laundry and a predetermined amount of detergent have been put into the washing and dewatering tub 32, when the operation is started, the water supply valve 39 is controlled by the control device 42, and Is supplied with a predetermined amount of water, and then the control device 42 controls the motor 35 to rotate the stirring blade 31. The laundry and the water in the washing / dewatering tub 32 are stirred by the rotation of the stirring blade 31, and the detergent gradually dissolves into washing water by this stirring, thereby acting on the soil of the laundry.

However, in such a conventional configuration, it is common to rotate the stirring blade 31 at a high speed to stir the laundry and water in order to dissolve the detergent added. In this case, in order to prevent excessive mechanical force from being applied to the laundry, a predetermined amount of water is supplied to the washing / dewatering tub 32 and then the stirring by the stirring blades 31 is performed.

That is, since the stirring blades 31 are not stirred until a predetermined amount of water is supplied, the water supply time has no meaning from the viewpoint of removing stains from the laundry. In addition, the supplied water will permeate the laundry as it is, and in this case, the detergent that has begun to dissolve due to the start of stirring penetrates the entire laundry and reaches a predetermined level until the concentration is uniform to a level necessary for removing stains. Time is required, and in this case too, it is wasted time from the viewpoint of dirt removal.

Further, it is inefficient to perform stirring by the stirring blades 31 while the detergent is not sufficiently acting on the laundry from the viewpoint of damage to the laundry. That is,
When the laundry is stirred in a state where the detergent has low solubility, mechanical force by the stirring blades 31 while the washing effect of the detergent is low, that is, frictional force is applied to the laundry surface, and as a result, the laundry surface becomes fuzzy. However, there is a problem that the damage is caused.
