relaunder

Clean clothes twice

To relaunder is to launder again—running clothes through the wash a second time, or cycling illicit money through another round of concealment.

The literal sense is straightforward: These sheets smell musty; I need to relaunder them.

The financial sense implies layering dirty money through additional transactions to further obscure its origins.
