Chandeliers left half-hidden by grime - remove it with this (8)
I believe the answer is:
cleanser
'chandeliers left' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'half-hidden by grime remove it with this' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'remove' could be 'clean' (cleaning is a kind of removing) and 'clean' is present in the answer.
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cleanser that I've seen before include "Lotion removing grime" , "Decaying" , "Eg, detergent" , "this can remove dirty marks" , "Cleaning cream or lotion" .)
