hose down
Spray with water
To hose down is to spray water over something, typically to clean it: He hosed down the driveway after mowing.
The phrase emphasizes thoroughness—you're not just rinsing but drenching.
Figuratively, to hose someone down can mean to calm them or cool their enthusiasm, like dousing a fire.
