Right.

I have been using the word "Sanitize", as more accurate, sounds good to
clients, conveying importance of and adherence to cleanliness standards -->
client confidence.

ie; For outpt use, pumps (the electric machines that are rented) are
"cleaned" by the renter prior to return, then "sanitized" by bf center staff.
For inpt use, pumps *should be* "sanitized" by staff between pts.
