Cleaner oar (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sweep

I believe this is a double definition.

'cleaner' is the first definition.
(sweep is a kind of cleaner)

'oar' is the second definition.
(I know that sweep is a type of oar)

(Other definitions for sweep that I've seen before include "Clean by brushing" , "do cleaning" , "Dust" , "Prize draw" , "range" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
