Brushed last of locks and blubbed (5)
I believe the answer is:
swept
'brushed' is the definition.
('sweep' can be a synonym of 'brush')
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for swept that I've seen before include "overwhelmed" , "what daily did" , "passed proudly" , "Removed by brushing" , "Cleaned by brushing" .)
