A symmetrical opposed-motion basket design is provided for an orbital clothes washer. The symmetrical opposed-motion basket is structured to cause clothes in one portion of the basket to tend to move clockwise, while clothes in another portion of the basket tend to move counter-clockwise. The center post and outer wall each have a relatively rough surface and the basket bottom wall has a relatively smooth surface comprising two concentric rings, one of which slopes continuously upwardly from the outer wall and the other of which slopes continuously upwardly from the inner wall to a point of intersection of the two rings. This structure enhances mixing and turbulence within the clothes load during the orbital cycles of the clothes washer.
