Vessel used by a girl for a bit of cleaning (7)
I believe the answer is:
coracle
'vessel' is the definition.
(coracle is a kind of vessel)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for coracle that I've seen before include "Small wickerwork boat" , "little boat" , "Welsh wickerwork boat" , "Simple Celtic boat" , "See boat" .)
