- a first rinsing step in general, water with a salt concentration customary in tap water is sufficient, so that an additional effect during the first rinsing through the use of desalinated water is comparatively small.
- water having a higher salt concentration than in the tap water for example, in desalination by reverse osmosis
- a positive effect can be obtained because the detergent-active substances can be more strongly bound by the salts.
- a fabric softening adding step according to the present invention is a rinsing step in which it is possible to add further substances to the items to be washed, e.g. a fabric softener, an impregnating agent, fragrances or the like. Since these substances are to remain on the laundry, then no further rinsing step is performed.
- the signals of the first and / or second sensor can be measured continuously or discontinuously during the method according to the invention.
- the measurement can be carried out by a first sensor at the beginning of a rinsing step and the measurement by a second sensor after the end of feeding water into the tub.
- the water supply is stopped and / or no further rinsing step is performed.
- the amount of water to be used in a rinsing step generally depends on the load of the washing machine on laundry.
- the loading quantity can be determined by a measure known per se.
- the rinsing phase can be tuned very precisely to the specified load.
- a rinse step for a quantity of 5 kg of laundry requires a quantity of water of about 15 to 18 l.
- this amount of water and / or the number of rinsing steps to be carried out are reduced.
- the rinsing action of the water desalted according to the invention can be improved by setting a slightly acidic pH in the desalted water, for example by adding an acid.
- the desalted water used in a rinsing step is stored according to the invention and reused in a later washing process, e.g. at the next wash.
- the advantage here is that you need to dose the required amount of detergent only according to the contamination of the laundry, regardless of the water hardness, since the water has already been desalted. The resumed in the last rinse salts and substances are present in such a low concentration that the washing process is not affected.
- the invention has numerous advantages.
- the method according to the invention has the advantage that, while maintaining the rinsing effect achievable by conventional rinsing, the total amount of rinsing water required overall for the rinsing phase can be significantly reduced. This is advantageously possible without lengthening the period of time for the entire treatment of the laundry in the washing machine.
- the invention allows in certain embodiments, a reduction of the burden of the laundry with undesirable salts and other inorganic and / or organic substances. This means that the use of softener can be reduced or avoided.

- Desalting device 17 may also be provided between the valve 9 and the dispenser shell 11.
- the desalting device 17 is arranged so that it does not have to be used at every water inlet for desalting of feed water, because on the one hand the use of desalted water during washing is not absolutely necessary, and on the other hand desalting capacity can be saved. if desalinated water is only supplied in certain program steps. As already mentioned, desalinated water should preferably be used during rinsing, and particularly preferably at the end of the rinsing process.
