Idiomatic expression meaning to organise or arrange neatly, for example organizing things in the house. Thanks.

Hello Winston

I'll give you half the phrase – see if you can find the other half:

1. To tidy ___

Clue: the missing word has only 2 letters.

It is not the one I am looking for. I heard it sometime ago but I cannot remember it. Anyway, I did not know the one you just gave me. Tank you very much.

That's a pity. It was "tidy up".

What about "make everything shipshape"?

"Put everything in good order"?

It is none of them. I know you will find it. Thank you.

"Do the housework"?

Or even
Shipshape and Bristol fashion.
