presoaked
Wetted before washing
Presoaked describes something that has been soaked beforehand, typically to soften it or prepare it for further use: presoaked beans cook faster, presoaked wallpaper paste.
The term appears most often with fabrics, foods, or materials that benefit from advance hydration.
