declutter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tidy up' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'cult deter change' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates an anagram.
'cult'+'deter'='cultdeter'
'cultdeter' with letters rearranged gives 'DECLUTTER'.
