When you want to talk about washing clothes or other items, the verb to use is 洗涤 (xǐdí). It specifically means to wash things like clothes, fabrics, or even dishes.
For example, if you say “洗涤衣服 (xǐdí yīfu),” it means to wash clothes.
You might see it on washing machine settings or on laundry detergent. So, if you see 洗涤, you know it’s about cleaning with water!
When you need to clean clothes or other fabric items, you can use the verb 洗涤 (xǐ dí). It means 'to wash' and is commonly used for laundry. For example, if you want to say 'to wash clothes,' you would say '洗涤衣服 (xǐ dí yī fú).' Remember, 洗涤 is often used in a more formal context compared to just simply 洗 (xǐ), which can be used for washing anything from hands to vegetables.
When you want to talk about washing clothes or other items, the verb to use is 洗涤 (xǐdí). It specifically means to wash things like laundry, blankets, or even dishes, but it's more formal and often used in contexts like washing machines or detergents. Think of it as 'to launder' or 'to cleanse' in a practical sense. It's a common and very useful verb for everyday household tasks.
When you're talking about washing clothes or other items that need a good clean, the verb you'll often hear and use is 洗涤 (xǐdí). It's a formal way to say 'to wash,' and it implies a thorough cleaning process, much like how we'd think of doing laundry.
You'll frequently see 洗涤 in instructions, especially on clothing labels, where it tells you how to care for the fabric. So, if you're ever looking at washing machine settings or garment care tags in Chinese, this word will definitely come in handy.
When talking about washing things, you'll often encounter two common verbs: 洗 (xǐ) and 洗涤 (xǐdí). While both mean 'to wash,' there's a subtle but important difference in their usage, especially when you're aiming for a more natural expression in Chinese.
Think of 洗 (xǐ) as the general, everyday term for 'to wash.' You can use it for almost anything: 洗手 (xǐ shǒu) 'wash hands,' 洗脸 (xǐ liǎn) 'wash face,' 洗碗 (xǐ wǎn) 'wash dishes,' and yes, even 洗衣服 (xǐ yīfu) 'wash clothes.'
Now, let's look at 洗涤 (xǐdí). This verb is more formal and specific. It's almost exclusively used in the context of washing fabrics or textiles, like clothes, bedding, or other laundry. You'll often see it on laundry product labels or in more formal written contexts.
So, while it's not incorrect to say 洗涤衣服 (xǐdí yīfu), it sounds a bit more formal than the common 洗衣服 (xǐ yīfu). For daily conversations about doing laundry, stick with 洗衣服 (xǐ yīfu). If you're discussing laundry instructions or the act of cleansing fabrics in a broader sense, then 洗涤 (xǐdí) is a good choice.
When talking about washing things, you'll often hear the word 洗涤 (xǐdí). This verb specifically refers to the act of washing items like clothes, fabrics, or even some household goods. Think of it as the process of cleaning something with water and often detergent.
While you might also hear 洗 (xǐ) for washing, 洗涤 carries a slightly more formal and encompassing meaning for laundry or commercial cleaning processes. For instance, you'd see 洗涤说明 (xǐdí shuōmíng) on a clothing label, meaning "washing instructions." It's a precise term for a common chore.
§ What does it mean and when do people use it?
Let's talk about the Chinese verb 洗涤 (xǐdí). At its core, 洗涤 means 'to wash'. But like many words, it has its specific contexts. You'll typically encounter 洗涤 when talking about washing clothes, fabrics, or sometimes even your soul or thoughts in a more figurative sense. It’s a formal and often more comprehensive way to say 'wash' compared to the more common 洗 (xǐ).
- Definition
- To wash (clothes, fabrics, or in a figurative sense, one's spirit or thoughts).
Think of 洗涤 as the more 'thorough' or 'industrial' washing. When you talk about doing laundry, especially in a professional setting or when referring to the process itself, 洗涤 is often the right choice. For example, a washing machine might have a 'wash' cycle labeled 洗涤. You'll also see it in instructions for cleaning garments.
我需要洗涤这些脏衣服。(Wǒ xūyào xǐdí zhèxiē zàng yīfu.) - I need to wash these dirty clothes.
Notice how in this example, it refers directly to washing clothes. This is one of its primary uses. It's a bit more formal than just saying 洗衣服 (xǐ yīfu), which is perfectly fine for everyday chat, but 洗涤 gives it a slightly more complete or process-oriented feel.
洗衣机有不同的洗涤模式。(Xǐyījī yǒu bùtóng de xǐdí móshì.) - The washing machine has different wash modes.
Here, 洗涤 is used as a noun, referring to the 'wash' aspect of the machine's function. This shows its versatility in context.
Beyond the literal washing of physical items, 洗涤 can also be used in a metaphorical sense. This is where it gets a bit more poetic or philosophical. You might hear about '洗涤心灵 (xǐdí xīnlíng)' which means 'to cleanse the soul' or 'to purify one's thoughts'. This usage highlights the deeper, more profound cleaning action that 洗涤 implies.
这次旅行洗涤了我的心灵。(Zhè cì lǚxíng xǐdí le wǒ de xīnlíng.) - This trip cleansed my soul.
In this case, the washing isn't physical, but emotional or spiritual. It's a strong word that conveys a sense of purification or renewal. When you see 洗涤 used in this way, it often suggests a profound impact or transformation.
So, when should you use 洗涤?
- When talking about washing clothes or fabrics, especially in a slightly more formal or technical context (e.g., washing instructions, laundry services).
- When referring to the 'wash' function or cycle of a machine.
- When describing a figurative cleansing or purification, often of the mind, heart, or soul.
Avoid using 洗涤 for simple actions like 'washing your hands' (洗手), 'washing your face' (洗脸), or 'washing dishes' (洗碗). For these everyday actions, the simple verb 洗 (xǐ) is almost always appropriate and more natural. The key is to understand the nuance: 洗涤 implies a more thorough or specific process, often for textiles, or a deep metaphorical cleansing. Keep practicing these contexts, and you'll get a feel for when to use it naturally.
§ Understanding 洗涤 (xǐdí)
So, you've learned the Chinese word 洗涤 (xǐdí). Great! It means 'to wash', especially when you're talking about clothes or similar items. It's a pretty straightforward verb, but there are a few things to keep in mind to use it naturally.
- DEFINITION
- To wash (clothes, etc.).
Let's break down how to use it in sentences.
§ Basic Sentence Structure with 洗涤
The most common way to use 洗涤 is as a verb followed by the object being washed. It's usually pretty direct.
妈妈正在洗涤衣物。
This translates to: Mom is washing clothes. (妈妈 - Mom, 正在 - currently/in the process of, 洗涤 - wash, 衣物 - clothes/garments)
请把这些蔬菜洗涤干净。
Meaning: Please wash these vegetables clean. (请 - please, 把 - 'ba' particle, 这些 - these, 蔬菜 - vegetables, 洗涤 - wash, 干净 - clean)
§ Using 洗涤 with Adverbials
You can add adverbs or adverbial phrases before 洗涤 to describe how the washing is done.
他仔细地洗涤着实验器材。
This means: He is carefully washing the laboratory equipment. (他 - he, 仔细地 - carefully, 洗涤 - wash, 着 - continuous aspect, 实验器材 - laboratory equipment)
她用肥皂水洗涤了桌子。
Meaning: She washed the table with soapy water. (她 - she, 用 - use, 肥皂水 - soapy water, 洗涤 - wash, 了 - past tense particle, 桌子 - table)
§ Expressions with 洗涤
Sometimes, you'll see 洗涤 as part of a fixed expression or a more formal context. While it means 'to wash', it can sometimes imply 'to cleanse' in a more metaphorical sense, especially in written Chinese, but for practical learning, stick to the literal 'wash' for now.
这台洗衣机可以很好地洗涤重型衣物。
This translates to: This washing machine can wash heavy-duty clothes very well. (这台 - this (measure word for machines), 洗衣机 - washing machine, 可以 - can, 很好地 - very well, 洗涤 - wash, 重型衣物 - heavy-duty clothes)
§ Common mistakes to avoid
- Don't use 洗涤 when you mean 'to wash your face' (洗脸 xǐ liǎn) or 'to wash your hands' (洗手 xǐ shǒu). For these, you simply use 洗 (xǐ).
- While it can be used for things other than clothes, if you're talking about washing dishes, 刷碗 (shuā wǎn) or 洗碗 (xǐ wǎn) are much more common.
Just remember to keep it practical. When you're dealing with laundry, especially in a slightly more formal context or when describing the act of washing clothes, 洗涤 is a solid choice.
§ Understanding 洗涤 (xǐdí) in Context
Alright, so you've got the basic meaning of 洗涤 (xǐdí): "to wash." But where does this word actually pop up in real life? It's not just about cleaning your socks. Let's break down where you're likely to hear or read 洗涤, from daily chores to more formal settings.
- DEFINITION
- To wash (clothes, etc.); to cleanse; to purify.
§ At Home and with Products
You'll often see 洗涤 on cleaning products. For instance, if you're buying laundry detergent, it's called 洗涤剂 (xǐdí jì). This is a common, practical use of the word.
请用这种洗涤剂洗衣服。
Here, it means: Please use this laundry detergent to wash clothes.
这个标签说要手洗涤。
This translates to: This label says to hand wash. You'll see this on clothing care labels.
§ In Professional or Industrial Settings
Beyond your home, 洗涤 is frequently used in industrial contexts, like laundries, factories, or even scientific processes where cleaning or purifying is involved.
医院的床单需要专业洗涤。
Meaning: Hospital bed sheets require professional washing/laundering.
他们正在研究新的水净化洗涤技术。
This sentence means: They are researching new water purification and cleansing technologies. Here, it leans more towards "cleansing" or "purifying" in a technical sense.
§ Figurative Uses in News or Formal Speech
Sometimes, 洗涤 isn't about physical cleaning. It can be used metaphorically, especially in news or more formal writing, to talk about purifying thoughts, reputations, or even souls. It adds a more serious or profound tone.
这次事件洗涤了人们的心灵。
Translation: This incident cleansed people's hearts/minds. Here, it's about emotional or spiritual purification.
他试图通过忏悔来洗涤自己的罪过。
Meaning: He tried to cleanse himself of his sins through repentance. This is a strong, formal usage.
§ Key Takeaways for Using 洗涤 (xǐdí)
- It's more formal than just 洗 (xǐ).
- Common on product labels (e.g., 洗涤剂 - laundry detergent).
- Used for industrial or large-scale washing/cleansing.
- Can be used figuratively for purifying abstract concepts like minds, souls, or reputations.
Now you know where to spot 洗涤 and how it's used in different contexts. Keep an eye out for it, and you'll quickly get a feel for its nuances!
§ Don't Overuse 洗涤
While 洗涤 (xǐdí) means 'to wash,' it's not always the best choice for everyday conversations. It often carries a more formal or even slightly literary nuance compared to other washing verbs.
- DEFINITION
- 洗涤 (xǐdí): To wash (clothes, etc.). More formal than 洗 (xǐ).
For example, if you're talking about washing your hands or face, you should use 洗 (xǐ) by itself or with other words like 洗手 (xǐ shǒu - wash hands) or 洗脸 (xǐ liǎn - wash face). Using 洗涤 in these contexts would sound quite unnatural.
我每天早上洗脸。(I wash my face every morning.)
吃饭前请洗手。(Please wash your hands before eating.)
§ Don't Confuse it with 洗澡 (xǐzǎo)
Another common mistake is using 洗涤 when you mean 'to take a bath/shower.' The correct verb for this is 洗澡 (xǐzǎo).
- DEFINITION
- 洗澡 (xǐzǎo): To take a bath or shower.
You would never say 洗涤澡 or use 洗涤 to describe washing your body. It sounds very strange to native speakers.
我每天晚上都洗澡。(I take a shower every evening.)
他喜欢泡热水澡。(He likes to take a hot bath.)
§ Using 洗涤 for 'Wash Clothes' vs. 洗衣服
While 洗涤 can be used for 'washing clothes,' especially in more formal contexts or with specific types of washing (like 'dry cleaning' 乾洗 / 干洗 (gānxǐ), or specific washing cycles), the most common and natural way to say 'wash clothes' is 洗衣服 (xǐ yīfu).
- DEFINITION
- 洗衣服 (xǐ yīfu): To wash clothes. This is the most common phrase.
You'll often see 洗涤 on laundry product labels or instructions because it's a more technical or formal term. In daily conversation, stick to 洗衣服.
我需要洗衣服。(I need to wash clothes.)
这种面料只能干洗。(This fabric can only be dry cleaned.)
Here, '干洗' (gānxǐ) means dry cleaning, and '洗' is the core verb, similar to the meaning of 'wash' within 洗涤. However, notice that it's 干洗, not 干洗涤.
§ Common Washing Phrases
Here's a quick list of common washing-related phrases to help you avoid misusing 洗涤:
- 洗手 (xǐ shǒu) - wash hands
- 洗脸 (xǐ liǎn) - wash face
- 洗澡 (xǐ zǎo) - take a bath/shower
- 洗头 (xǐ tóu) - wash hair
- 洗碗 (xǐ wǎn) - wash dishes
- 洗衣服 (xǐ yīfu) - wash clothes
- 洗衣机 (xǐyījī) - washing machine (literally 'wash clothes machine')
- 清洗 (qīngxǐ) - to clean (can be used for washing things thoroughly, often in a more general sense than 洗涤, like cleaning vegetables or a car)
§ What is 洗涤 (xǐdí)?
- Definition
- To wash (clothes, etc.). This word has a slightly more formal or general feel compared to some alternatives, and it often appears in contexts related to laundry or industrial cleaning.
When you learn Chinese, you'll find several words that translate to 'to wash' in English. It's important to understand the nuances so you can use the right word in the right situation. Today, we're focusing on 洗涤 (xǐdí), a useful B2 level verb.
我需要把这些衣服洗涤干净。
Translation hint: I need to wash these clothes clean.
§ 洗涤 (xǐdí) vs. 洗 (xǐ)
The most common and basic word for 'to wash' is 洗 (xǐ). You've probably learned this already. So, when do you use 洗涤 (xǐdí) instead of just 洗 (xǐ)?
- 洗 (xǐ) is a very general verb. You can use it for almost anything you wash: 洗手 (xǐ shǒu - wash hands), 洗脸 (xǐ liǎn - wash face), 洗澡 (xǐ zǎo - take a shower/bath), 洗碗 (xǐ wǎn - wash dishes), 洗衣服 (xǐ yīfu - wash clothes). It's the everyday, go-to verb.
- 洗涤 (xǐdí) is more specific to laundry or items that are processed for cleaning. While you can say 洗衣服 (xǐ yīfu), using 洗涤 (xǐdí) often implies a more thorough or formal washing process, sometimes even industrial. It's frequently used when talking about washing machines, detergents, or professional cleaning services.
洗衣机可以高效地洗涤衣物。
Translation hint: The washing machine can efficiently wash clothes/garments.
他正在洗手。
Translation hint: He is washing his hands.
§ When to use 洗涤 (xǐdí)
You'll often see 洗涤 (xǐdí) in these contexts:
- On product labels: Especially on clothing tags or detergent packaging, you'll see 洗涤说明 (xǐdí shuōmíng - washing instructions).
- When referring to the process of laundering: If you're talking about the general act of doing laundry, 洗涤 (xǐdí) fits well.
- In more formal or technical language: When discussing cleaning textiles, industrial washing, or in written instructions.
- As part of a compound word: For example, 洗涤剂 (xǐdí jì) means 'detergent'.
请仔细阅读衣物上的洗涤说明。
Translation hint: Please read the washing instructions on the clothing carefully.
§ Other 'Wash' Words
While 洗 (xǐ) and 洗涤 (xǐdí) cover most washing scenarios, here are a couple of others to be aware of:
- 冲洗 (chōngxǐ): To rinse, to flush, to wash by flushing. This implies using a flow of water to clean something, often quickly or to remove suds. Think about rinsing vegetables or rinsing off a car.
- 漂洗 (piǎoxǐ): To rinse (after washing, specifically for laundry). This is a more specific term for the rinsing cycle in laundry, ensuring soap is removed.
他用清水冲洗了车。
Translation hint: He rinsed the car with clean water.
洗衣机正在进行漂洗程序。
Translation hint: The washing machine is in the rinsing program/cycle.
§ Key Takeaways
- Use 洗 (xǐ) for general washing of anything (hands, face, dishes, clothes, etc.). It's the most common and versatile.
- Use 洗涤 (xǐdí) for washing clothes or other textiles, especially in formal contexts, for washing instructions, or when referring to the process of laundering. It has a slightly more technical or formal feel.
- Use 冲洗 (chōngxǐ) when rinsing something with a flow of water.
- Use 漂洗 (piǎoxǐ) specifically for the rinsing stage in laundry.
Wusstest du?
In ancient China, washing clothes was a laborious process often done by hand in rivers or communal washing areas. The compound '洗涤' reflects this traditional practice of thorough cleansing.
Aussprachehilfe
- The 'i' in 'xi' is often mispronounced as a long 'e' sound, like in 'see'. It's actually a shorter, almost 'ee' sound, but with the tongue further forward.
- The 'di' can sometimes be softened too much. Make sure it's a clear 'dee' sound.

洗 (xǐ) is the most basic and common verb for 'to wash.' It can be used for almost anything from washing hands (洗手) to washing vegetables (洗菜). 洗涤 (xǐdí) is a more formal and specific term, often used in contexts like laundry instructions or industrial cleaning, whereas 洗 is much more general.
搓洗 (cuōxǐ) means 'to scrub and wash,' specifically involving rubbing. While it's a type of washing, it emphasizes the physical action of rubbing to clean, which is a component of some 洗涤 processes, but not the entirety of the meaning of 洗涤.
漂洗 (piǎoxǐ) means 'to rinse.' It's typically the step after the main washing (洗涤) where detergent is removed. It's a part of the overall washing process but not synonymous with 洗涤 itself.

Many learners confuse 洗衣 (xǐyī) with 洗涤 (xǐdí). While both relate to washing clothes, 洗衣 is more commonly used as a noun meaning 'laundry' or 'to do laundry' in a general sense, focusing on the action itself. 洗涤 is a more formal verb referring to the act of washing or cleaning something thoroughly.
Use 洗衣 when talking about the chore of doing laundry. Use 洗涤 when referring to the act of washing something, especially textiles, in a more formal context or when emphasizing the cleaning process.
我今天有很多洗衣要做。 (Wǒ jīntiān yǒu hěnduō xǐyī yào zuò.) - I have a lot of laundry to do today. 这件衣服需要干洗，不能水洗涤。 (Zhè jiàn yīfu xūyào gānxǐ, bùnéng shuǐ xǐdí.) - This garment needs dry cleaning, it cannot be water-washed.
洗澡 (xǐzǎo) means 'to take a bath or shower.' It's specifically for washing one's body, not objects like clothes.
洗澡 is for personal hygiene; 洗涤 is for cleaning items.
他每天晚上都洗澡。 (Tā měi tiān wǎnshàng dōu xǐzǎo.) - He takes a shower every night.
洗脸 (xǐliǎn) means 'to wash one's face.' Similar to 洗澡, it's about personal hygiene and not for objects.
洗脸 is for washing the face; 洗涤 is for cleaning items.
早上起来要先洗脸。 (Zǎoshang qǐlái yào xiān xǐliǎn.) - You should wash your face first thing in the morning.
冲洗 (chōngxǐ) means 'to rinse' or 'to flush.' While it involves water and cleaning, it often implies a quick wash or rinsing off, not a thorough cleaning like 洗涤.
冲洗 is about rinsing; 洗涤 is about a more complete washing process.
请把碗筷冲洗干净。 (Qǐng bǎ wǎnkuài chōngxǐ gānjìng.) - Please rinse the dishes and chopsticks clean.
清洗 (qīngxǐ) also means 'to clean' or 'to wash,' and it's quite close to 洗涤. However, 清洗 can be used for a wider range of items and often implies removing dirt or impurities, while 洗涤 is more specifically associated with textiles and washing them with detergent.
清洗 has a broader application for cleaning; 洗涤 is more specific to washing clothes or fabrics.
你需要定期清洗空调滤网。 (Nǐ xūyào dìngqī qīngxǐ kōngtiáo lǜwǎng.) - You need to regularly clean the air conditioner filter.

So verwendest du es
When talking about washing clothes, you'll often hear people use 洗涤 (xǐ dí). It's a pretty straightforward word for this action. However, it's generally reserved for things like clothing, fabrics, or even some household items that need to be cleaned with water and detergent.
A common mistake learners make is using 洗涤 (xǐ dí) for washing other things. For example, you wouldn't use it to say 'wash your face' (洗脸 - xǐ liǎn) or 'wash your hands' (洗手 - xǐ shǒu). Those actions have their own specific verbs. So, remember: 洗涤 (xǐ dí) for laundry and similar items!
Tipps
Basic Usage of 洗涤
The most common use of 洗涤 (xǐdí) is to refer to washing clothes. You'll often see it on washing machines or laundry detergent. For example, '洗衣机正在洗涤衣物' (xǐyījī zhèngzài xǐdí yīwù) means 'The washing machine is washing clothes'.
Distinguishing 洗涤 from 洗
While both 洗涤 (xǐdí) and 洗 (xǐ) mean 'to wash,' 洗涤 is generally more formal and specifically refers to washing things like clothes, fabrics, or even abstractly, one's soul. 洗 is broader and can be used for washing hands, a face, a car, etc.. You wouldn't typically say '洗涤手' (xǐdí shǒu) for 'wash hands'.
Common Collocations with 洗涤
洗涤 often pairs with words like 衣物 (yīwù, clothing), 纺织品 (fǎngzhīpǐn, textiles), or 心灵 (xīnlíng, soul/mind). For instance, '洗涤剂' (xǐdíjì) means 'detergent'.
Formal Contexts for 洗涤
You'll often encounter 洗涤 in more formal settings, such as on product labels, in instruction manuals, or in written articles. It sounds more technical than the everyday '洗'.
Metaphorical Use of 洗涤
洗涤 can be used metaphorically to mean 'to cleanse' or 'to purify', especially in a spiritual or mental sense. For example, '洗涤心灵' (xǐdí xīnlíng) means 'to cleanse the soul/mind'.
Related Vocabulary: 洗衣机
A very practical word related to 洗涤 is 洗衣机 (xǐyījī), which means 'washing machine'. You use a 洗衣机 for 洗涤衣物.
Related Vocabulary: 洗涤剂
Another useful related term is 洗涤剂 (xǐdíjì), meaning 'laundry detergent'. This is the substance you use for the act of 洗涤.
Understanding Context: Clothes Tag
When you see a clothing care label with '洗涤', it's instructing you on how to wash the garment. Pay attention to the symbols next to it for specific instructions like 'hand wash' or 'machine wash'.
Practice Sentence Construction
Try constructing simple sentences using 洗涤. For example, '我需要洗涤这些衬衫' (wǒ xūyào xǐdí zhèxiē chènshān) means 'I need to wash these shirts'.
Listen for 洗涤 in Media
Pay attention to how 洗涤 is used in Chinese movies, TV shows, or advertisements, especially those related to household products or cleaning. This will help you get a feel for its natural usage.
Einprägen
Eselsbrücke
Imagine you're at a laundromat and you see a sign that says, "Wash here, please!" The 'xi' in 洗 (xǐ) sounds like 'she' and 涤 (dí) sounds a bit like 'dee' as in 'deep clean'. So, 'She deep cleans' the clothes. Or, if you prefer, 'She's deeply washing' them.
Visuelle Assoziation
Picture a washing machine vigorously spinning, with suds everywhere. The character 洗 (xǐ) looks a bit like water (氵) on the left, and perhaps a small cloth being cleaned on the right. 涤 (dí) has the water radical (氵) as well, and the right side looks a bit like something being wiped clean.

Basic Usage of 洗涤
The most common use of 洗涤 (xǐdí) is to refer to washing clothes. You'll often see it on washing machines or laundry detergent. For example, '洗衣机正在洗涤衣物' (xǐyījī zhèngzài xǐdí yīwù) means 'The washing machine is washing clothes'.
Distinguishing 洗涤 from 洗
While both 洗涤 (xǐdí) and 洗 (xǐ) mean 'to wash,' 洗涤 is generally more formal and specifically refers to washing things like clothes, fabrics, or even abstractly, one's soul. 洗 is broader and can be used for washing hands, a face, a car, etc.. You wouldn't typically say '洗涤手' (xǐdí shǒu) for 'wash hands'.
Common Collocations with 洗涤
洗涤 often pairs with words like 衣物 (yīwù, clothing), 纺织品 (fǎngzhīpǐn, textiles), or 心灵 (xīnlíng, soul/mind). For instance, '洗涤剂' (xǐdíjì) means 'detergent'.
Formal Contexts for 洗涤
You'll often encounter 洗涤 in more formal settings, such as on product labels, in instruction manuals, or in written articles. It sounds more technical than the everyday '洗'.
