Bad habit cad used to clean up (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
acid bath
'to clean up' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'bad habit cad' is the wordplay.
'bad' indicates anagramming the letters.
'habit'+'cad'='habitcad'
'habitcad' anagrammed gives 'ACID BATH'.
'used' is the link.
