I believe the answer is:

dustpan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'what's made for cleaner' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'alternative stand-up?' is the wordplay.
'alternative' indicates anagramming the letters.
'standup' is an anagram of 'DUSTPAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dustpan that I've seen before include "Sweeping receptacle" , "domestic utensil" , "Stand up (anag) - short-handled shovel" , "Stand up (anag) - receptacle for collecting particles" , "Cleaning aid" .)
