Abstract: A laundry treatment apparatus and a control method thereof are disclosed. A water supply time is controlled, the supply of water is performed in a stepwise manner, and detergent or fabric softener is introduced into a tub without remaining in a detergent introduction unit using a siphon phenomenon. Consequently, it is possible to secure the time necessary for the water from the detergent introduction unit to be introduced into the tub through water supply control such that the detergent or the fabric softener in the detergent introduction unit is introduced into the tub together with the water in the detergent introduction unit, to control the supply of water irrespective of the amount of water remaining in the detergent introduction unit in order to remove remaining water from the detergent introduction unit, and to prevent the detergent introduction unit from being contaminated due to remaining water or from becoming clogged.
