I believe the answer is:
broom
'sweeping brush' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for broom that I've seen before include "Long-handled brush" , "Leguminous shrub" , "A new - - sweeps clean" , "Shrub or sweeping brush" , "Shrub and cleaning instrument" .)
