A washing machine is disclosed which comprises a rotational drum (12) into which laundry is input and a water tub (11) to perform a washing operation using bubbles. A corresponding control method of such a washing machine performs a washing operation using bubbles and comprises the supply of detergent liquid and water into a space between the water tub (11) and the rotational drum (12) so as not to contact the laundry input into the rotational drum. Bubbles are generated from detergent water as a mixture of the detergent liquid and the water and then the bubbles are supplied to the laundry. Thereafter, the laundry is washed using the bubbles.
