Ross

I believe the answer is:

swab

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">nautical mop</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for swab that I've seen before include "Small pad for surgical use" , "Surgical cleaner" , "Piece of fabric for medical use" , "Absorbent surgical pad" , "Cleaning implement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
