Abstract

A rinsing method of a washing machine according to the present invention supplies fabric softener after getting fabric wet by spraying water through a spray nozzle. Therefore, not only fabric can become fully wet while reducing water used for rinsing but also fabric softener can be spread out evenly over the fabric.

1 . A rinsing method of a washing machine, comprising:
 water spraying that water not containing detergent is sprayed to a washing tub through a spray nozzle; and   fabric softener supplying that water containing fabric softener is supplied to the washing tub through a detergent box; wherein   the water spraying and the fabric softener supplying are sequentially started and are repeated for a predetermined number of times.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein if a predetermined time is passed since the water spraying has started, and the fabric softener supplying is started while the water spraying is performed. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein water not containing detergent is supplied to the washing tub through the spray nozzle while the fabric softener is supplied. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the washing tub rotates while the water spraying and the fabric softener supplying are performed. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising spin drying of fabric by rotating the washing tub. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the water spraying, the spin drying, and the fabric softener supplying are repeated sequentially for a predetermined number of times. 
     
     
         7 . A rinsing method of a washing machine, comprising:
 a first water spraying that water not containing detergent is sprayed to a washing tub through a spray nozzle;   spin drying of fabric by rotating the washing tub after the first water spraying;   a second water spraying that water not containing detergent is sprayed to the washing tub through the spray nozzle; and   fabric softener supplying that water containing fabric softener is supplied to the washing tub through a detergent box after the second water spraying is started.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein water not containing detergent is supplied to the washing tub through the spray nozzle while the fabric softener supplying is supplied. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the washing tub rotates while the first water spraying, the second water spraying, and the fabric softener supplying are performed.
