Cleaner range kept by nameless woodworker (6,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carpet sweeper

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cleaner' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'range kept by nameless woodworker' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'range' could be 'sweep' (I've seen this before) and 'sweep' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for carpet sweeper that I've seen before include "Household appliance" , "Domestic appliance for picking up dust" , "cleaning device" , "Floor cleaner" , "Domestic cleaning equipment" .)
