Mosásálló

Mosásálló is a Hungarian term that translates to "washable" or "wash-proof" in English. It is a descriptor used to indicate that a product or material can be cleaned by washing, typically with water and detergent, without sustaining damage or losing its intended properties. This term is commonly found on labels for textiles, such as clothing, upholstery, and bedding, as well as on certain types of toys, decorative items, and even some paints and coatings.

The degree of washability can vary. Some items might be described as "machine washable," implying they can withstand the agitation and temperature of a washing machine. Others might be "hand wash only," suggesting a gentler cleaning method is required. The term "wash-proof" generally implies a higher level of durability, meaning the item can be repeatedly washed without significant degradation.

Materials that are mosásálló are often treated or constructed in a way that allows them to resist shrinking, stretching, fading, or losing their shape when exposed to water and cleaning agents. For consumers, the "mosásálló" designation provides important information about how to properly care for a product, ensuring its longevity and maintaining its appearance and functionality. It is a key indicator for ease of maintenance and hygiene.
