Abstract: A washing machine includes a tub for accommodating a drum; a water supplier configured to supply water to the tub; a turbidity sensor configured to detect turbidity of water in the tub: a circulation bubble device configured to perform a circulation operation of circulating water in the tub and resupplying it to the tub or a bubble supply operation of generating bubbles and supplying them to the tub; and a controller configured to perform a first rinsing cycle when the turbidity of the water in the tub is higher than a first reference value, and control the water supplier so that water containing a softener is supplied to the tub and perform a second rinsing cycle by controlling the circulation bubble device to alternately perform the circulation operation and the bubble supply operation when the turbidity of the water in the tub is lower than the first reference value.

Abstract: A control method of a washing machine which includes a tub, a drum, a detergent supplier including a detergent storage space to store detergent and a softener storage space to store a softener, a water supplier to supply water to the tub, a turbidity sensor to detect turbidity of water in the tub, and a bubble circulator to perform a circulation operation of circulating water or a bubble supply operation of generating bubbles and supplying the generated bubbles to the tub, includes detecting, by the turbidity sensor, the turbidity of water in the tub, and in response to the detected turbidity of the water in the tub being lower than a first reference value, controlling the water supplier to supply water containing the softener to the tub and controlling the bubble circulator to perform a second rinsing cycle by alternately performing the circulation operation and the bubble supply operation.
