Let's clean-slate it??
Let's get through this stuff. Let's do it together. Let's clean-slate it. Let's just do it.
A clean slate is a noun.
I cannot find any information, which is it can be used as a verb.
Is this a correct one? I think it should be Let's clean the slate, or Let's start with a clean slate.
Then why the person says it.
ps. This is the line of 'Ben' in the movie, The Intern.

A clean slate means to start fresh -- erase everything on the slate. I would say, "Let's start with a clean slate." but there is a tendency in English to create verbs out of nouns.

I have seen people write, "Inbox me," to mean "send an e-mail to my inbox."
