How to Say "cleaned" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “cleaned” is “limpiado” — A1 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
He limpiado mi habitación esta mañana.
I have cleaned my room this morning.
Juan ya había limpiado la cocina cuando llegué.
Juan had already cleaned the kitchen when I arrived.
The 'Done' Word
This word is a 'past participle.' In English, it's like adding '-ed' to a verb (clean -> cleaned). Use it after the word 'haber' to talk about things you have done.
The Unchanging Rule
When you use 'limpiado' with 'haber' (like 'he limpiado'), it never changes its ending, even if you are talking about many things or female objects.
Limpiado vs. Limpio
Mistake: “Using 'limpiado' to describe a clean room in a simple way.”
Correction: Use 'limpio' to say 'the room is clean' (El cuarto está limpio). Use 'limpiado' only when you want to focus on the act of cleaning that just happened.
