15 mins confidence:
limpiar en ambos casos Explanation: Pienso que con ambas preposiciones el verbo es el mismo,quizá la diferencia esté en el área que se limpie, "wipe off" para limpiar una superficie más pequeña, que se pueda sacudir el sucio de lado a lado, "wipe down" una superficie más grande que se tenga que limpiar verticalmente. Una apreciación un tanto especulativa de mi parte, mi intención es poder ayudar. |
