purifies
Removes all contaminants
Purifies is the third-person singular form of purify—to make pure by removing contaminants, impurities, or unwanted elements.
Water purifies through filtration, fire purifies metal by burning away dross.
The word extends to spiritual or moral cleansing: Confession purifies the soul.
Something that purifies restores to an uncorrupted state.
