Trouble in yard upset charwoman (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

daily

'charwoman' is the definition.
(both can mean a cleaner)

'trouble in yard upset' is the wordplay.
'trouble' becomes 'ail' (synonyms).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'yard' becomes 'yd' (abbreviation).
'upset' is a reversal indicator.
'yd' in reverse letter order is 'dy'.
'ail' going into 'dy' is 'DAILY'.

(Other definitions for daily that I've seen before include "Cleaner; every 24 hours" , "paper, of a sort" , "Quotidian" , "Every twenty-four hours" , "Char" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
