gesäubert

Gesäubert is the past participle of the German verb säubern, meaning to clean, purify, or sanitize. It denotes that cleaning has been completed and is commonly used to describe objects, rooms, or spaces after cleaning.

Grammatically, gesäubert is formed with the prefix ge- and is used with auxiliary haben in perfect tenses, as in Ich habe das Zimmer gesäubert. It also appears in passive constructions such as Der Raum wird gesäubert or Das Zimmer ist gesäubert worden, indicating ongoing or completed cleaning actions.

In everyday language gesäubert usually refers to a completed cleaning in a straightforward, non-technical sense. In more formal or hygiene-oriented contexts, it can imply thorough sanitation or disinfection, though other terms like gereinigt or sauber are also common, depending on register and emphasis.
