Mop (4)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

swab

'mop' is the definition.
(I know that swab is a more specific form of mop)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for swab that I've seen before include "Wound-cleaner" , "Absorbent surgical pad" , "Surgical cleaner" , "Cotton wool mop" , "Cloth for cleaning wounds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, the Evening Standard, The Guardian and the Penny Press.
