unlaundered
Not yet cleaned
Unlaundered means not washed or cleaned.
Literally, it describes clothing or linens that haven't been laundered: a pile of unlaundered shirts.
More commonly, it describes money that hasn't been processed to disguise its illegal origins—the opposite of laundered money: The cash was unlaundered, still traceable to the drug operation.
