What does RINSE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To flush soap, dirt, or other loose material off something using plain water.
Rinsing usually follows washing, since soap or detergent needs to be flushed away with plain water before dishes, hair, or clothes are considered clean. People also rinse fruit and vegetables under the tap to remove dust or chemical residue before eating them. In hairdressing, a rinse can additionally mean a light, temporary colour applied to the hair rather than the act of washing itself. The word can act as a noun too, as when someone gives a cup a quick rinse.
How RINSE is used
Very common in everyday speech about washing, cleaning, and hair care.
- She rinsed the plates before putting them in the dishwasher.
- He rinsed the vegetables under cold running water.
- Rinse the shampoo out thoroughly before applying conditioner.
