ruby-on-rails controller helper sanitize

I'm not sure what you're trying to do here but I'm almost 100% certain it doesn't belong in the controller.

If you want to sanitize an attribute before you save it to the DB, do so in the model with a before save callback.

Otherwise, sanitize in the view template or view helper.
