Masinpesuks

Masinpesuks is a care label term used in Estonian textiles to indicate that the item is suitable for washing in a household washing machine. The term is formed from masin (machine) and pesuks (for washing) and is used on product labels and in consumer information to distinguish machine-washable items from those that require hand washing or dry cleaning.

On care labels, masinpesuks is typically accompanied by temperature and cycle recommendations and may appear with the standard washing symbols. In contrast, käsipesuks denotes hand washing only, and other care instructions might specify tumble drying or air drying.

While masinpesuks communicates that machine washing is permissible, it does not specify all conditions. The actual safe wash temperature, spin speed, and cycle type depend on the fabric and construction, and these particulars are provided on the label, often with icons or writing. The term is primarily used in Estonian-speaking markets, and similar concepts exist in other languages.
