English term

swipe

English to Portuguese Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals
Context: Have you swiped the
surface on top of tall cabinets... Using the two-glove
color swipe helps you to see particles you may otherwise miss.
I have translated the first sentence as: Você já passou a mão sobre armários altos....
But for the second sentence, I can't find an equivalent noun. The context is cleaning room - medical facilities - dust particles, etc.

Not what i asked for As you can see, I asked for the translation of "swipe" in two contexts, one as a verb, the other as a noun. Please read again my initial question.

Not what you asked You asked for a translation of "swipe" and not "two-glove
color swipe "
