The invention discloses a rinsing control method for a washing machine. The rinsing control method comprises the steps that in the rinsing drainage process, the average turbidity value of current water is detected; a corresponding rinsing control process is started according to the average turbidity value of the current water. The average turbidity value of the current water is detected in the rinsing drainage process, compared with the prior art, the influence of foam on a turbidity sensor can be reduced, and therefore the accuracy of judging instant stopping of rinsing can be improved, and energy waste can be reduced.
