結果補語
把…V完/好 lands a finished result; 把…V一V is a light brief pass with no endpoint. One closes the action, the other just touches it.
Plain 把…V+result says it got done; 把…V一V softens the same disposal into 'just a quick go'. Object handling is identical; the verb shape sets the dose.
把衣服洗一洗完了 → 把衣服洗一洗
把一件衣服洗一洗 → 把那件衣服洗一洗
把衣服洗洗一 → 把衣服洗一洗
English 'give it a quick wash' has no 把 and no doubling; learners drop 把, or attach a result complement that cancels the 'light pass' the doubling already carries.
