A continuous process for cleaning and preparing grossly soiled products of plastic material, such as sheets, bands, sacks or the like for subsequent re-use, in which the plastic material is comminuted after removing rough foreign objects therefrom, whereafter the comminuted plastic material is fed into a washing solution having a greater specific weight than the plastic material and subjected together with the washing solution in a washing zone to turbulence, transferred to a turbulence-free zone containing washing solution by passage under a submerged edge of a partition submerged in the washing solution and separating the washing zone from the turbulence--free zone, and thereafter subjected first to mechanical and then to a thermal drying operation.
