Meaning
an act of making a place or a collection of things tidy:
To tidy up means to put things in their proper places, make a room or area neat, and clear away mess or clutter. It focuses on organization and arrangement rather than deep scrubbing or washing. You can also use it for non-physical things, like fixing up a written report or organizing files.
