Putz means clean,(Putzen, to clean) "zeug" can mean items or objects, for example a tool is a "werkzeug" - work item, Also can be a variation of the word "ziehen" which means to pull. The past tense of "ziehen" is "gezogen", slang can mean "zug" or a cleaning pull through. Can't put the umlaut pronunciation on with this computer.
