比较义项：用水清洗（动词）。
- wash
"Wash" is the general, everyday word for cleaning something with water, with or without soap; it does not specify a stage of cleaning or a particular type of item, unlike the other two.
“wash”是最普通、最日常的说法，泛指用水（可加肥皂）清洁任何东西；它不像另外两个词那样限定清洗过程中的某个阶段或某类特定物品。
He always washes his hands before every meal.
他每次吃饭前都会洗手。
- rinse 本词
"Rinse" means only to run clean water over something to remove soap, dirt or residue, usually as the final step after washing, not the whole cleaning process.
“rinse”只表示用干净的水冲掉肥皂、污垢或残留物，通常是清洗后的最后一步，而不是整个清洗过程。

用温水把头发里的洗发水冲洗干净。
- launder
"Launder" specifically means to wash (and often iron) clothes or fabric, and sounds more formal than "wash"; it is not used for hands, dishes or vehicles, and separately can mean to illegally disguise the origin of money.
“launder”专指清洗（常常也包括熨烫）衣物或织物，语气比“wash”更正式；它不用于手、餐具或车辆，另外还有一个不相关的意思——非法掩饰资金来源（即“洗钱”），这里不作比较。
The company launders staff uniforms twice a week.
这家公司每周为员工制服洗涤两次。
Wash, rinse, and launder all mean to clean with water. Wash is general, for cleaning anything. Rinse means running clean water over something to remove soap, as a last step. Launder means to wash clothes, more formal; it can also mean illegally hiding money.
这三个词在这个义项中都表示“用水清洗”，语境相近，但范围和正式程度不同：wash 最通用，可以清洗任何东西；rinse 强调只用清水去除肥皂或污垢的最后一步；launder 专指清洗（常常也包括熨烫）衣物，语气更正式。这里不比较 launder 的另一个意思“洗钱”。
