Spring Cleaning and Phrasal Verbs

It's Sunday evening here in the US. I've spent the weekend spring cleaning. Tell me what the phrase 'spring cleaning' means. If you were to do a little spring cleaning, what would you clean in your house/apartment? Try to use some of the following phrasal verbs in you answer:

 

clean up

clean out

tidy up

straighten up

throw out

give away

put up

take down

get rid of

air out

 

Do you have a similar custom in your country or culture?

 

Cheers,
