Cleansed (6)

I think it could be either:

washed

purged

'cleansed' is the definition.
(washing is a kind of cleansing)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for washed that I've seen before include "Cleaned with liquid" , "Cleaned with water" , "Laundered" , "Wall up; imprison" , "Used soap and water" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and the Evening Standard.
