| Cleaning to remove all visible residue and matter | Sanitation or sanitizing |
| Contagious skin disease that is caused by the itch mite, which burrows under the skin | Scabies |
| Disposable items that cannot be used more than once, either because they cannot be cleaned of all visible residue (such as pumice stones used for pedicures), or because cleaning and disinfecting damages them | single-use or disposable |
