machine-washed
Cleaned by appliance
Machine-washed describes something cleaned in a washing machine rather than by hand.
The term usually appears on care labels or in product descriptions: machine-washed cotton, machine-washed and tumble-dried.
It can also describe the softened, slightly worn look that results from such washing: The jeans have a machine-washed finish.
