Disclosed are a washing method and a washing machine using the washing method. In the washing method, washings are suspended in a washing space (2) through a suspension component (4), so that the washings can move in a first movement manner in the washing space (2); the washings are washed through a water flow sprayed by nozzles (8) which move in a second movement manner different from the first movement manner; and the water flow are made to cover at least part of washings by changing a relative position between washings and the nozzles (8). A high-pressure water flow flowing out from the nozzles (8) changes flushed positions along with change of the relative position between washings and the nozzles (8), so that washings can be thoroughly washed and there is a good washing effect; and moreover, the washing method replaces drum turning of a drum washing machine and impeller stir of an impeller washing machine through flushing with high-pressure water, so as to reduce abrasion to washings and quantity of washing water.
