je pensais à 'dégradation' ou 'détérioration' pour 'demotion' mais je ne trouve rien de satisfaisant pour 'cleansing' (s'agit-il d'un simple nettoyage ?) Un grand merci !

détérioration et lavage

Explanation:

désolée, je n\'avais pas vu le \"steel\" avant marble, donc billes en métal.

demotion & cleansing

Explanation:
Cleansing devrait être décontamination. Quant à demotion, le terme est généralement traduit par rétrogradation
demote - 1893 Amer.Eng. coinage from de- + (pro)mote. The original reference describes it as "used generally in that section of the country" (Iowa, U.S.A.), which implies an earlier date. First record of demotion is from 1901.
