Vessel used by a girl for a bit of cleaning (7)

I believe the answer is:

coracle

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

'vessel' is the definition.
(coracle is a kind of vessel)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for coracle that I've seen before include "Small wickerwork boat" , "little boat" , "Welsh wickerwork boat" , "Simple Celtic boat" , "See boat" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
