pompes à motricité humaine ???


Explanation:
Mere speculation...this is all I could find including "lessive"...I think you will have to ask the client for clarification...

Pmh or pmh may be brand of soap...produit lessiviel=laundry product

Pmh may also be a "house" abbreviation of a procedure or a duty to be performed by the staff. You can only be certain by asking about this opacity in the text.

Cordially, RF

  -> oh no, I don't mind at all, thanks - it must be some "in-house" expression
disagree  Simon Oliver: we already have 'lessiviels' in the list
