spot-cleaned
Treated specific stains
Spot-cleaned describes something that has been cleaned in specific areas rather than washed entirely.
The term applies to fabrics, carpets, or upholstery where stains are treated individually: The jacket is dry-clean only, but I spot-cleaned the collar.
It implies targeted maintenance rather than thorough laundering.
