Front-loading or top-loading horizontal-axis clothes washing machine comprising a perforated rotating drum, a stationary tub containing said drum, a filling conduit having the inflow end thereof connected to an external water-inlet control device and the outflow port thereof connected to the inner volume of the tub, and including a silver cell, said washing machine being adapted to perform a prearranged sequence of phases comprising at least a rinsing phase that comprises drain and spin-extraction sub-phases. The machine also comprises a re-circulation manifold connected on one side to said drain manifold and, on the other side, to a spray nozzle that injects the liquor into said drum, appropriate pumping means being associated to said re-circulation manifold so as to be able to pump the liquor from said drain manifold to said nozzle. During at least a spin-extraction phase said silver cell is activated to produce a flow of water enriched with silver ions, which is let into said tub via said filling conduit. Even said pumping means associated to said re-circulation manifold are operated during at least a portion of the period in which said silver cell is activated. |
