Disclosed is a rinsing method for a washing machine. The rinsing method comprises the following steps: S1: injecting a pre-set amount of clean water into an inner drum (2) of a washing machine in a spray manner; and S2: controlling a circulating pump (3) to perform inner circulation in order to circulate water into the inner drum (2) of the washing machine. By means of the combined methods of water feeding by spraying and water spraying by inner circulation, the technical effect of mist-sprayed rinsing can be obtained, both reducing the residual amount of detergent (powder), and preventing the drawbacks of mist-sprayed rinsing, which can save on water and save on electricity, and the installation structure is simple, and the method is applicable to washing machines with various structures.
