To provide a processing method for a silver halide color photosensitive material with which when continuous processing is carried out under low replenishment, stain caused by a sensitizing dye is reduced and excellent white background stability and image preservability are ensured.

In the processing method for the silver halide color photosensitive material in which the silver halide color photosensitive material having on a support at least one yellow developing photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer, at least one magenta developing photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer and at least one cyan developing photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer is processed using an automatic developing machine through a color developing step using a color developing solution, a desilvering step using a desilvering solution and a washing step using washing water or a stabilizing step using a stabilizing solution, a processing member having a compound with sensitizing dye retentivity and not containing a compound which generates fluorescence in water is immersed in at least one of the color developing solution, desilvering solution, washing water and stabilizing solution.
