'Make a clean sweep' có một từ mới là clean nghĩa là sạch. Vì thế make a clean sweep nghĩa là quét sạch hay gạt bỏ những đồ vật hay những người không cần thiết.
Ví dụ
When the new mayor (thị trưởng) came into office, she didn’t want any staff (nhân viên) members who disagreed with her agenda. So she made a clean sweep. She let all of those employees go.
When my boyfriend broke up (cắt đứt quan hệ) with me, I didn’t want any of his photos or gifts (quà tặng) around. I went through all my stuff and made a clean sweep. I got rid of everything that reminded (nhắc nhở) me of him.
