The invention discloses a tableware cleaning method for dish-washing machines, and relates to the field of dish-washing machines. Firstly, tableware is placed into a dish rack randomly, and then, thetableware cleaning method comprises the following circulating steps: injecting washing liquid into a washing container, so that the tableware in the dish rack is soaked in the washing liquid; promoting gas, which is generated from the bottom of the washing container, to rush to the washing liquid, so that micro air bubbles are formed; making the dish rack reciprocally move or rotatably move so asto form an irregular eddy flow, so that the micro air bubbles are promoted to uniformly distribute in the washing liquid, wherein via the irregular eddy flow, the tableware is flushed by virtue of thewashing liquid which contains the micro air bubbles; discharging the washing liquid; and repeating the circulating washing processes until the tableware is thoroughly cleaned, thus completing a cleaning course. According to the tableware cleaning method provided by the invention, by forming the micro air bubbles via the gas generated from the washing liquid and through the flowing of the washingliquid of the movable dish rack, flushing force of the washing liquid on the tableware is increased and attachment force of oil dirt on the tableware is reduced; and in comparison with a tableware washing method of a conventional dish-washing machine, a better cleaning effect is guaranteed.
