rinsing
Removing soap residue
Rinsing is the act of washing something lightly, typically with clean water to remove soap, residue, or loose debris: Give the dishes a quick rinsing before loading the dishwasher.
The word implies a secondary wash rather than a thorough scrubbing—you rinse after the main cleaning is done.
