resanitizing

Sterilizing once more

Resanitizing is the act of sanitizing something again, typically after it has become contaminated or after an initial cleaning proves insufficient.

The term appears most often in contexts involving food preparation, medical equipment, or public spaces where hygiene standards require repeated disinfection.

The health inspector noted that the kitchen staff should be resanitizing cutting boards between uses.
