Cancel the clean-up! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scrub

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'cancel' is the first definition.
(scrub can mean to cancel or erase)

'the clean-up' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for scrub that I've seen before include "Stunted growth" , "something in the garden?" , "Clean vigorously - stunted vegetation" , "Scour - stunted trees" , "Clean, low vegetation" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
