cleaned

Cleaned is the past tense and past participle of the verb clean. It indicates that dirt, moisture, or other unwanted substances have been removed from an object, surface, or system. As an adjective, it can describe the state of something after cleaning, as in "a cleaned room" or "cleaned data." The term derives from Old English clǣnan and is formed by adding the regular -ed suffix to the verb.

Common usages include everyday actions ("We cleaned the kitchen yesterday"), data processing ("cleaned data" after deduplication and error correction), and decontamination in scientific, medical, and food-safety contexts ("cleaned surfaces" met sanitization standards). In each case, cleaned signals that a cleansing or purification step has been completed and the item is now free of the targeted impurities.
