Disclosed is a washing method which can eliminate suds or foam created in the course of washing by a washing machine and can effectively prevent the creation of foam, thereby improving the washing efficiency of the washing machine. In the washing method, a part of the washing liquid is continuously recirculated and sprayed during the washing process while the washing liquid is partially drained at each predetermined time interval. In the rinsing process, a part of the rinsing water is also continuously recirculated and sprayed during the rinsing process while the rinsing water is partially drained at each predetermined time interval.
