Constant inclination for housework? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cleaning

'housework?' is the definition.
(cleaning up a house)

'constant inclination' is the wordplay.
'constant' becomes 'c' (mathematical abbreviation).
'inclination' becomes 'leaning' (leaning is a kind of inclination).
'c'+'leaning'='CLEANING'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for cleaning that I've seen before include "Removing dirt" , "sponging, perhaps?" , "housework?" , "Wiping" , "Sanitising" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
