Search; clean (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scour

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'search' is the first definition.
(I know that scour is a more specific form of the action search)

'clean' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for scour that I've seen before include "scrub and scrape" , "Comb" , "Attack with brush" , "Rub hard or search thoroughly" , "Hunt through" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
