Cleaned up, in a way

EDITED

Think of what a writer might do to refine their work before publishing, especially when removing errors or unnecessary parts. It’s not about scrubbing floors!

"Cleaned up, in a way" hints at making something tidier or more polished, which is what you do when you edit a piece of writing. The word "edited" fits because it literally means refining or correcting text—removing errors, tightening phrasing, or organizing content. The clue plays on the idea of "cleaning" as a metaphor for improving clarity, much like how an editor "cleans up" a draft."
