wash clothes- prać ubranie (to launder?)

wash hands - myć ręce
wash floor - myć podłogę

Yes prać is infinitive and pierze is among other things form for he/she/it washes.

prać- to wash

ja piorę I wash
ty pierzesz you wash
on ona ono pierze he/she/it washes
my pierzemy we wash
wy pierzecie you wash
oni piorą they wash

Polish is fun like that

and wet is mokry/mokra/mokre in nominativ depending on the word's gender

thank you for replying but i am still failing to see the difference in the words if " wash floor = myć podłogę "
and " wash clothes- prać ubranie " ? is prac' just for clothes ?

wash is mostly for textiles. It could be used in metaphorical sense as listed above, or sometimes about things that were put in washing machine.
