Usage Note
Limpiar covers both scrubbing surfaces and wiping something clean with a cloth. The adjective limpio ('clean') shares the root; its opposite is sucio ('dirty'). In many households you'd hear ¿ya limpiaste? ('did you clean up already?') as a typical domestic prompt.

"Necesito limpiar la cocina hoy."
Natural Translation
I need to clean the kitchen today.
