FIL: Hugasan nang mabilisan o bahagya gamit ang tubig upang alisin ang dumi o sabon; banlawan.
EN: to rinse
This is the final step in your 'labada' journey, the moment you wash away the soap (and your sins). It's also what you do to the dishes before the final 'punas' stage. If your relationship feels 'malabo', maybe it just needs a good 'anlawan' to see things clearly.
From 'anlaw' (rinse) + '-an' (verb suffix).
Synonymous with "banlawan," which is more commonly used in many regions. "Anlawan" can sometimes imply a quicker, less thorough rinse.
