Daily gets hold of second detergent perhaps (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cleanser

'detergent perhaps' is the definition.
(detergent is a kind of cleanser)

'daily gets hold of second' is the wordplay.
'daily' becomes 'cleaner' (dated term for a woman cleaner).
'gets hold of' indicates putting letters inside.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'cleaner' enclosing 's' is 'CLEANSER'.

(Other definitions for cleanser that I've seen before include "One wanting to get pure" , "Decaying" , "Purgative" , "Lotion removing grime" , "Purifying lotion" .)
