washed off
Rinsed down thoroughly
Washed off describes something removed by washing: The mud washed off easily.
It can also mean the washing was completed: I washed off before dinner.
The phrase implies that water—sometimes with soap or scrubbing—has cleared away dirt, grime, or residue from a surface or body.
