done and dusted

Totally wrapped up

Done and dusted means completely finished, with no loose ends remaining.

The phrase suggests not just completion but tidiness—everything wrapped up and settled: The contract is signed, done and dusted.

More common in British than American English, it often appears after negotiations, projects, or decisions are finalized beyond any doubt.
