Cleaner with mop has shot round (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shampoo

'cleaner' is the definition.
(shampoo cleans hair)

'mop has shot round' is the wordplay.
'shot' indicates an anagram.
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object).
'mop'+'has'='mophas'
'mophas' anagrammed gives 'shampo'.
'shampo'+'o'='SHAMPOO'

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for shampoo that I've seen before include "Soapy liquid for hair" , "Top cleaning product" , "cleansing liquid" , "Hair-cleaner" , "Hair or carpet cleaner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Sun.
