Cleanup versus Clean up

What is the Difference Between Cleanup and Clean Up?


When to Use Cleanup

Cleanup can be a noun or an adjective.

As a noun, cleanup refers to a job involving making something tidy.

For example,

  • “We need a cleanup on aisle seven!” said the cashier over the intercom.
  • Four hundred workers participated in this year’s river cleanup, and removed trash along a two-mile stretch.

    As an adjective, cleanup describes such a job. In baseball, the cleanup hitter is also the fourth batter in the lineup.

    I have included some example sentences below,

  • Ben Zobrist bats cleanup for the Chicago Cubs, even though Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo are more notorious power hitters.
  • The cleanup crew made the store look shiny and new each night while there were few customers inside.

    When to Use Clean Up

    In contrast to the compound cleanup, clean up is a verb phrase. It means to make something tidy.

    Summary

    Is it cleanup or clean up? Despite being separated by a single space, these two terms are not interchangeable: the compound version is never a verb, and the phrase is only ever a verb.

    Clean up is a verb phrase that means to make something tidy.
    Cleanup is a noun or an adjective that describe the act of making something tidy.
