Charlady after a bath? (7)
I believe the answer is:
cleaner
'charlady' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a bath?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'after' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cleaner that I've seen before include "Char; less dirty" , "Charwoman - vacuum" , "Charlady" , "Dirt remover" , "Less soiled" .)
