Use a mop (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swab

'use a mop' 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 "Absorbent surgical pad" , "Small piece of cotton used to cleanse a wound" , "Hospital cleaner" , "Pad used in surgery" , "Wound-cleaner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
