undisinfected
Not yet sanitized
Undisinfected means not treated with disinfectant, still potentially carrying germs or contaminants.
The word appears in medical and sanitation contexts where proper cleaning is expected: The undisinfected surfaces posed a contamination risk.
It implies a lapse or oversight—something that should have been disinfected but wasn't.
