请教clear house

常客

"You scandalous old hypocrite!" she replied. "Are you not afraid
of being carried away bodily, whenever you mention the devil's
name? I warn you to refrain from provoking me, or I'll ask your
abduction as a special favour. Stop, look here, Joseph," she continued,
taking a long, dark book from a shelf. "I'll show you how far
I've progressed in the Black Art—I shall soon be competent to
make a clear house of it. The red cow didn't die by chance; and
your rheumatism can hardly be reckoned among providential
visitations!"

来自Wuthering Heights第二章。

make a clear house of it，在这里是不是“都学会”，“穷尽知识”的意思？谢谢！

===========================================================================

参考译文：
你这满嘴胡言的伪君子！你提到魔鬼名字的时候，不怕被魔鬼带走吗？我警告你别招惹我，不然我就祈求魔鬼把你拐走。停下，看这，约瑟夫。

（她从书架上取下一本幽暗的长条书，继续说）

我要让你看看我在巫术上的进步，不用多久我就能统统学会了。那头红色的奶牛不是无缘无故死掉的；你的风湿病也不能算是神意的造访。

似乎這是說用巫術將這房子變得純淨，也就是把房子的污點清除掉。

多谢。从后面的两个句子来看，应该是这个意思。
