unsweepable

Cannot be swept

Unsweepable describes something that cannot be swept—either literally, as a surface too rough or cluttered for a broom to work, or figuratively, as something that resists being dismissed or pushed aside: The evidence was unsweepable under the rug.

In sports, particularly basketball and baseball playoffs, an unsweepable team cannot be defeated in every game of a series.
