	Comments:	Oops, I thought that I checked daijirin but it seems I didn't. I won't object if anyone wants to add it back. I assume it's not used outside of that idiom. The smaller kokugos don't make a separate sense for it; they just mention 命の洗濯 as an example.

	Refs:	Not sure that I disagree with the removal but for the record I'd like to mention that that sense is in daijs, daijr, koj, and nikk. Nikk has a 心を洗濯 example. 心の洗濯 27097

	Refs:	[vt]: sankoku, iwakoku, meikyo, smk, etc. I don't think the second sense is needed unless there's evidence that "洗濯" is used with that meaning outside of an expression. It seems rather reductive to say that 洗濯 can mean "relaxing" only because the word is used in the "命の洗濯" idiom.
