Clear the decks? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swab

'clear the decks?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for swab that I've seen before include "Mop up - uncouth fellow" , "Piece of fabric for medical use" , "Hospital cleaner" , "Absorbent pad for cleansing or drying" , "Specimen" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
