المعنى
To make one's home tidy and free of dirt.
خلفية ثقافية
Koreans traditionally use '걸레' (a cleaning rag) to wipe the floor while kneeling. Even with modern mops, many believe the floor is only truly clean if wiped by hand. Recycling (분리수거) is a massive part of cleaning. It is strictly enforced, and failing to do it correctly can result in fines. Spring cleaning (대청소) is often a family event, especially before major holidays like Chuseok or Seollal to welcome ancestors and guests. In modern Seoul, 'cleaning apps' (청소 앱) like 'Miso' or 'Chungso-yeojeong' are commonly used by single-person households to hire professionals.
Use '좀' for politeness
When asking someone to clean, adding '좀' (a little/please) makes it sound much softer: '집 좀 청소해 줘'.
Don't forget the floor
In Korea, cleaning the house isn't finished until the floor has been wiped (닦다).
