Place cleaning implements around journalist’s retirement quarters (8)

I believe the answer is:

bedrooms

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'place cleaning implements around journalist's' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'retirement quarters' is the wordplay.
'retirement' becomes 'bed'.
'quarters' becomes 'rooms' (I've seen this before).
'bed'+'rooms'='BEDROOMS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bedrooms that I've seen before include "Dom robes up after nights spent in them" , "Sleeping chambers" , "Sleeping areas" , "Sleeping spaces" , "Sleeping quarters" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
