spic-and-span

Without any dirt

Spic-and-span describes something perfectly clean and fresh, often with the suggestion of being brand new or newly cleaned.

The phrase typically applies to physical spaces, objects, or appearances: The kitchen was spic-and-span after the deep cleaning.

It carries a cheerful, somewhat old-fashioned tone and implies thorough attention to tidiness rather than mere surface cleanliness.
