rewipe

Swab once more

To rewipe is to wipe again—a second pass at cleaning a surface or, more commonly, oneself after using the toilet.

The word appears in discussions of bathroom hygiene: I had to rewipe because the first attempt wasn't enough.

Also used for screens, counters, or anything requiring another cleaning pass.
