A washing machine lifting rib (3) and a washing machine. The inner wall of the washing cylinder is provided with a lifting rib, and the lifting rib is formed by a polymer absorbing material used as a washing medium through injection molding. The polymer material used as the washing medium is made into the lifting rib through injection molding. In the washing and rinsing processes, clothes and water are in full contact with the lifting rib, the lifting rib can play the strong absorbing performance, the washed dirt can be absorbed and cleared, the purification degree of washing water or rinsing water in the contact process with clothes is effectively increased, and the washing ratio is increased. Moreover, in the washing process, the process of separated recovery of the clothes and the polymer particles in the prior art is not required, the problem that the particles are difficult to be separated from clothes is effectively solved, the washing time is shortened greatly, the washing process is simplified, and the water consumption is saved.
