Cleaner sort of music created to be listened to (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chambermaid

'cleaner' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sort of music created to be listened to' is the wordplay.
'sort of music' becomes 'chamber' ().
'created' becomes 'made' (making is a kind of creating).
'to be listened to' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'made' sounds like 'maid'.
'chamber'+'maid'='CHAMBERMAID'

(Other definitions for chambermaid that I've seen before include "Female servant" , "Hotel room cleaner" , "brings in new sheets" , "Hotel employee" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
