There are varying degrees of lung lavage and used in two diagnoses as far as I know and involve washing out the lungs with saline or mucolytic agents.
Bronchopulmonary lavage therapy
Bronchoalveolar lavage
Has your doctor recommended that you have this done? I don't know about the recovery time. It would depend on each individual. Maybe you can give us more information regarding your medical diagnosis from your doctor.
