återsköljs

Återsköljs is the present passive form of the Swedish verb återskölja, meaning to rinse again. The prefix åter- signals repetition, and the suffix -s marks the passive voice. In present tense, återsköljs can refer to a single object or to several objects, and the form does not change with number.

Typically, återsköljs describes a second rinse performed after an initial wash or rinse, in order to remove remaining detergent, residues, or contaminants. The term is common in practical contexts such as dishwashing, cleaning of equipment, food preparation, and laboratory or healthcare settings where thorough rinsing is required. In Swedish, the same present passive form can be used for both singular and plural subjects.

Examples:

- Faten återsköljs noggrant innan användning. (The dishes are rinsed again carefully before use.)

- Efter tvätten återsköljs utrustningen med varmt rent vatten. (After washing, the equipment is rinsed again with warm clean water.)

- sköljning, rinsing

- spola av igen, another way to express a repeated rinse in everyday language

Återsköljs is primarily a neutral, formal term; in everyday speech, people might prefer phrasing such as “skölj igen” depending on context.
