Man regis, ploviniai - tai tas pats, kas išplovos; tokią reikšmę rodo Anglonas: 3 pl med. išplovos

washwater


Explanation:
There is a little problem with "WASHINGS" because it also has another different meaning in medicine related to the surgical procedure called lavage.

+ usage examples here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuberculosis_diagnosis


"WASHWATER" appears in contexts related to waste water treatment:

http://www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_english/construction_civ...

"If floors are kept generally clean to begin with, washwater from floor cleaning should not typically be hazardous wastewater. However, washwater may contain heavy metals, dirt and other debris that may need treatment before discharging to the sewer, to meet water quality discharge limits."
"Check with your local sewer utility or your local public works department to make sure your floor-cleaning washwater is okay to discharge to the sewer."
( www.deq.state.or.us/lq/pubs/docs/hw/RadiatorShopManual.pdf -- Quick View: http://tinyurl.com/bthhehh )

"Used wash water is collected for further treatment."
www.aise.eu/downloads/AISE_pro_laundry_dossier.pdf

Example sentence(s):
  • plastic wastebasket, which can be lined with a trash bag to collect, contaminated eye wash water -- http://www.silcom.com/~pordecon/medical_protocols.htm
