An overall washing operation for a horizontal axis washing machine includes at least one washing cycle and numerous rinse and spin cycles, with at least a portion of one of the rinse cycles being performed at an increased rotational speed for the spinner while the rinse water level is relatively high in order to establish a flush tumble cycle portion. With this arrangement, rinse water will be caused to flow from an outer tub of the machine through a frontal gap defined between an inner tub or spinner and the outer tub, as well as throughout a sealing boot extending between the outer tub and a front cabinet panel of the machine. This water flow and tumbling pattern causes items which have become lodged in the gap and boot areas to be flushed back into the spinner. Preferably, this flush tumble cycle portion is followed by a drain operation and a final spin cycle.
