A method for washing a polyarylene sulfide with a washing solution that contains a carefully controlled solvent content is provided. More particularly, the washing solution typically contains water (e.g., deionized water) in an amount of from about 30 wt. % to about 70 wt. % and an aprotic organic solvent in an amount of from about 30 wt. % to about 70 wt. %. Within such carefully controlled ranges, the present inventors have discovered that the polyarylene sulfide can retain a relatively high oligomer content, which in turn, helps minimize the melt viscosity.
