washables
Hamper's soiled contents
Washables are items, especially clothes, that can be washed without damage.
The term distinguishes machine-safe fabrics from those requiring dry cleaning or special care: Sort your washables by color.
Laundry instructions often specify whether garments belong with regular washables or need gentler handling.
