Patent ID: 8046856

Claim:
A method for spinning textiles, which have been subjected in particular to a method for establishing a hydrophobic effect in a domestic washing machine with facilities for driving a washing drum, which is supported in a rotatable manner in an outer tub, and for controlling a washing process with a control unit, with which method, during the course of a treatment process similar to a washing process, as the washing drum is being moved, the textiles supported in it are brought into contact with water-repelling agents dissolved in a washing liquid, the washing liquid being at least partially formed by receiving a dose of a liquid detergent including the water repelling agents in a deter ent chamber and delivering the detergent from the detergent chamber to the outer tub, the washing liquid being heated within the outer tub by a heater, wherein: removing the free washing liquid from the outer tub with a drain pump; rotating the washing drum with a drive motor, and controlling the drive motor with a speed control unit that instructs the drive motor to rotate the washing drum in a first spin block for a first number of first spin pulses to a first speed being below a critical speed, the critical speed being a speed at which a vibration system including the outer tub and washing drum is in a state of resonance, in a second spin block for a second number of second spin pulses to a second speed being above the critical speed, and in a third and final spin block for a third number of third spin pulses to a maximum speed that is still tolerable for the washing; removing with the drain pump the washing liquid from the outer tub that is spun off during all the spin blocks; and operating the washing drum with the drive motor, and controlling the drive motor with the speed control unit such that the speed control unit instructs the drive motor to rotate the washing drum in a slackening section at a slackening speed between each of the spin pulses, the slackening speed being a speed at which the textiles separate from the washing drum and are rearranged as they move around in the washing drum.
