Dekoju uz Jusu atsakymus. Tikrai nezinau, kuris terminas butu tinkamas. Bandysiu pasiteirauti uzsakovo. Abejoju del "washwater": gal "ploviniams" naudojamas ne vanduo, o koks nors kitas tirpalas?

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

Gerb. Leonardai, gal galit nurodyti interneto saltinius, kuriais remetes? As pati niekur neradau termino "washings" siame kontekste.
Gerb. Leonardai, mano uzsakovu nuomone, Jusu pasiulytas terminas "washing(s)" buvo pats tinkamiausias. Labai aciu!

washwater

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

"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:

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