Use a broom (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sweep

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">use a broom</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for sweep that I've seen before include "Cleaner of chimneys" , "Clean with broom" , "Clean (eg chimney)" , "Wield a broom" , "a puppet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, the LA Times, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard and the Universal.
