Sweeping tool (5)
I believe the answer is:
broom
'sweeping tool' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for broom that I've seen before include "A new - - sweeps clean" , "Flowering shrub" , "Yellow-flowering shrub" , "Sweeper (said twice for a car!)" , "Leguminous shrub" .)
