soilers
Things that dirty
Soilers are things or people that soil—that make something dirty or stained.
The word appears most often in compound forms describing what gets soiled: diaper soilers for babies, bed soilers for those who wet or mess their sheets.
Occasionally used for substances that cause staining: grease and other soilers.
