뜻
To make a residence tidy and free of dirt.
문화적 배경
The 'dia de faxina' is a cultural institution. It usually involves loud music and moving all furniture to clean underneath. Spring cleaning ('limpezas de primavera') is a traditional time to air out the house and do deep maintenance after the damp winter. Cleaning is often a communal activity in smaller communities, where neighbors might help each other maintain the surrounding areas. The phrase is often used in the context of preparing for traditional ceremonies or family gatherings.
Use with 'precisar'
It's very common to say 'preciso limpar a casa' (I need to clean the house).
Gender Agreement
Never say 'limpar o casa'. It's always feminine.
