Presence of cleaner is followed by mother (8)
I believe the answer is:
charisma
'presence' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'cleaner is followed by mother' is the wordplay.
'cleaner' becomes 'char' (char can mean a cleaner).
'followed by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'mother' becomes 'ma' (ma can mean mother).
'char'+'is'+'ma'='CHARISMA'
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for charisma that I've seen before include "Alluring personal quality - archaism (anag)" , "attractive quality" , "Glamour" , "Pull" , "magnetic quality" .)
