'special clearing up session's conclusion?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'special clearing up session's conclusion?' is the wordplay.
'special' becomes 'sp' (abbreviation).
'up' indicates an anagram (letters get chucked up).
'conclusion?' says to take the final letters (I've seen 'conclusion' mean this).
The final letter of 'session' is 'n'.
'clearing' is an anagram of 'ringclea'.
'sp'+'ringclea'+'n'='SPRING-CLEAN'
