English term or phrase: over time
. Thoroughly wipe all surfaces of the footswitch and cord with a damp cloth and mild cleaning solution or disinfectant. The footswitch will withstand the effects of cleaning over time without degrading the enclosure.

I know what it means - I just can't get my head round it for this context.

i årenes løb


Explanation:
'over time' kan forklares som 'gradvist' eller 'med tiden' - men jeg synes, denne danske formulering passer bedst i konteksten.

Example sentence(s):
  • Tingene blev bedre med tiden (things got better over time)

Explanation:
Pernille og Signe har ret i, at "med tiden", "gradvist" og "i tidens løb" er gode oversættelser. I dette tilfælde ville jeg dog vælge en mere fri oversættelse i stil med:
"Fodkontakten og dens indkapsling kan holde til lang tids jævnlig rengøring uden at blive beskadiget."
