Around our place it always seems to be a function of time and previous actions. We refer to the "washing" both before and after the actual deed, and because it's pretty hard not to notice that the washing machine has been in action (it has a spin cycle that any rap artist would die for), the implications of "washing" are just obvious.

So "I'm going to do the washing" and "Will you fold up the washing" don't really need an extra word; context is everything!

Ask Pontius Pilate about the uses of "washing". JuanMaria, he came from your neck of the woods. How does Spanish deal with it?
