Method for treating laundry and suitable laundry treatment device for carrying out said method
First Claim
1. A method for applying a treatment composition to a laundry item in a laundry treatment device having a rotatably mounted drum, a water supply, a reservoir for the treatment composition, and an injection device with a mixing container into which the treatment composition can be dosed, said method comprising:
- adding water to the laundry item in a first rotation step of the drum to set a pre-determined residual moisture content;
adding the treatment composition to the mixing container from the reservoir prior to contacting the laundry item; and
spraying the treatment composition from the mixing container onto the laundry item in a second rotation step of the drum with the aid of the water supply, when the drum is rotated at a rotary speed which is equal to or greater than a centrifugal adhesion rotary speed,wherein the treatment composition does not comprise laundry detergent.

Abstract
In a method for applying a treatment composition to a laundry item in a laundry treatment device having a rotatably mounted drum and a water supply, water is added to the laundry item in a first rotation step of the drum to set a pre-determined residual moisture content. A treatment composition is sprayed onto the laundry item with the aid of the water supply in a second rotation step of the drum, when the drum is rotated at a rotary speed which is equal to or greater than a centrifugal adhesion rotary speed.

15. A laundry treatment device, comprising
a rotationally mounted drum; -
a water supply adapted to add water to the drum to thereby set a pre-determined residual moisture content in a laundry item in the drum in a first rotation step of the drum; a reservoir for a treatment composition, and an injection device with a mixing container into which the treatment composition is adapted to be dosed from the reservoir prior to contacting the laundry item, the injection device being adapted to cooperate with the water supply and to apply the treatment composition onto the laundry item in the drum by spraying the treatment composition with the aid of the water supply onto the laundry item in a second rotation step of the drum at a rotary speed which is equal to or greater than a centrifugal adhesion rotary speed, wherein the treatment composition does not comprise laundry detergent. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
