Cleaner able to meet financial obligations (7)
I believe the answer is:
solvent
'cleaner' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for solvent that I've seen before include "ether?" , "In the black - liquefier" , "liquid chemical" , "water, for example?" , "OK for bread?" .)
