The invention relates to a
wool clothes washing method and a washing
machine. The washing
machine includes an
impeller; when water is put in the washing
machine and reaches a preset
water level, the washing function is enabled, and the
impeller conducts washing at different rotation stop ratios during washing; the method includes the following steps that in the first washing process, the impelleris controlled to rotate at the first rotation stop ratio to achieve fast washing of
wool clothes, and the rotation time within a rotation stop cycle is longer than stop rotation time; in a second washing process, the
impeller is controlled to rotate at the second rotation stop ratio to achieve rotary washing of clothes, and the rotation time within a rotation stop cycle is shorter than the stop rotation time; the second washing process includes a clothes washing procedure and a rinsing procedure. In the first washing process, the rotation speed of
water flow is high, the
wool clothes can be fully stirred, and the cleaning rate of the wool clothes is increased; in the second washing process, the rotation
stop time is long, and the
shrinkage rate is decreased. The washing machine can reducefriction among the wool clothes, an inner
barrel and the impeller in the washing processes, the
shrinkage rate of the wool clothes is reduced, the impeller rotates periodically, and the cleaning rateis increased.
