rengörs

Rengörs is a Swedish verb form that expresses the present passive of the verb rengöra, meaning to clean. As a present passive, rengörs indicates that something is being cleaned or is cleaned, without specifying who performs the action. The agent, if stated, may appear after the preposition av, as in by the cleaning service.

In usage, rengörs is common in everyday language, maintenance schedules, manuals, and signs where the emphasis is on the action of cleaning rather than the actor. It can describe processes, facilities, or objects in need of cleaning or having just been cleaned. The form is versatile and can be paired with time adverbs, such as varje dag (every day) or regelbundet (regularly).

Examples:

- Rummet rengörs varje dag av fastighetsskötaren. (The room is cleaned every day by the building caretaker.)

- Ytan rengörs innan måleriarbetet påbörjas. (The surface is cleaned before painting work begins.)

- Maskinen rengörs regelbundet för att förhindra fel. (The machine is cleaned regularly to prevent faults.)

Etymology and related forms:

Rengörs is derived from the verb rengöra, with the present passive suffix -s. Related nouns include rengöring (cleaning) and rengöringsmedel (cleaning agents). The form contrasts with the active present rengör, meaning “cleans,” and with other tenses formed from rengöra.

Rengörs is thus a standard grammatical feature in Swedish that conveys the ongoing action of cleaning from a passive perspective, suitable for both everyday speech and formal documentation.
