v to expunge all residue of prior materials. Heat or steam is required to remove any hint of previous remedies from the receptacles and tools used in the creation of homeopathic or herbal preparations.

cleaning
1. a major part of sanitation procedures in veterinary preventive medicine because of the heavy contamination of animal accommodation by feces and urine, and in abattoirs because of the rapid accumulation of fat. High pressure cleaning with hot water and detergents is the only practicable procedure but brings its own attendant problems of disposal of effluent.
