Help me

Hi, betys. Welcome to English Forums. Thanks for joining us.

Since "clean" is an adjective, it doesn't mean much. You probably know what "to give a cleaning" means.

We could try adding a few likely nouns. "to give a clean slate" / "to give a clean record" You erase someone's past and give them a chance to start over.

"to give a clean bill of health" This doesn't

Hi,
Welcome to the Forum.

to give a clean - what does it mean

In my idiolect, 'a clean' is an informal word for 'a cleaning'.
eg
Me: The toilet is dirty.
My wife: Well, you're not helpless, give it a clean.

Best wishes, Clive

I think I've heard that, but my wife knows better than to ask me, and I really know better than to ask her!.

Edit. Maybe "a quick clean."

Thanks
