Cleaner turning to one for transport (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chariot

'for transport' is the definition.
(charioting is a kind of transporting)

'cleaner turning to one' is the wordplay.
'cleaner' becomes 'char' (char can mean a cleaner).
'turning' says the letters should be written backwards.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'to'+'i'='toi'
'toi' in reverse letter order is 'iot'.
'char'+'iot'='CHARIOT'

(Other definitions for chariot that I've seen before include "ride in carriage" , "American religious folksong 'Swing low, sweet ...'" , "former military vehicle" , "Ancient horse-drawn war vehicle" , "Two-wheeled horse-drawn vehicle used in battle" .)
