unstained

Free from marks

Unstained means free from stains or marks—literally clean and unblemished: an unstained tablecloth.

More often the word appears figuratively, describing reputation or character untouched by wrongdoing or disgrace: an unstained record, Her honor remained unstained by the scandal.

The figurative sense carries moral weight, suggesting purity or innocence preserved.
