Cleans with powders (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dusts

I believe this is a double definition.

'cleans' is the first definition.
(dusting is a kind of cleaning)

'powders' is the second definition.

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for dusts that I've seen before include "Removes powder with a cloth" , "Polishes" , "Wipes" , "Cleans a surface with a cloth" , "Performs housework" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
