Clear-up
Hi,
1) Can ‘clear-up’ be used with ‘do’ or ‘have’?
“We decided to do/have a clear-up in the shed and toss out things we don’t need any more.”
2) Could I say ‘do a quick visual sweep through’ in the following sentence? (I’m still talking about the shed.)
“We did a quick visual sweep through the things to get an idea of what was in there.”
Thank you.
