PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate hypochlorous acid water having a concentration corresponding to a degree of a stain of laundry without an effort to input salt and supply it at a rinsing step to sterilize the laundry.SOLUTION: A washing machine comprises a pair of electrodes 42c provided within an electrolytic tank 42, a water supplying unit 43 supplying water within an outer tank 33 to the electrolytic tank, a communicating unit 45 communicating the electrolytic tank 42 with the outer tank 33, and opening and closing means 44 provided in the communicating unit 45. A water intake 43a of the water supplying unit 43 is provided in a side wall 33b of the outer tank 33b. Controlling means 39 allows water feeding menas 36 to feed a predetermined amount of water into the outer tank 33, and then allows driving means 35 to rotate a washing and dewatering tank 34 so that a part of a created water stream is supplied from the water intake 43a into the electrolytic tank 42 and water electrolyzed in the electrolytic tank 42 is supplied through the communicating unit 45 into the outer tank 33. |
