Stand up perhaps to receive the brush-off (7)
I believe the answer is:
dustpan
'receive the brush-off' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'stand up perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'stand'+'up'='standup'
'standup' with letters rearranged gives 'DUSTPAN'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dustpan that I've seen before include "Container associated with brush" , "waste collector" , "Item of floor cleaning equipment" , "One's used to clean up" , "Receptacle for use with hand brush" .)
