Crossword Genius

Material taken to the cleaners? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

worsted

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'material' is the first definition.
(I know that worsted is a type of material)

'taken to the cleaners?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for worsted that I've seen before include "sort of suit?" , "cloth" , "Wiped the floor with" , "Woollen fabric" , "taken to the cleaners" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
