This is an act of cleaning preposterous trend

I have ed_n so eden but why?

This is my last letter of the crossword so any help appreciated.

Edit - Tide (trend) , back

?

Might have guessed I put one in incorrectly.
I put nitling instead of titling.
Thanks for your help.

You're welcome

All done except for 21 across. I think the definition is GRASS and I have found two words which would fit the letters I have (TE_F), but cannot parse it. Have I gone wrong somewhere?

The best I could come up with for TERF is -
'wanting tips for each' = 'tips' (as in turning over) + 'for each' (as in the sense of 'being restricted to two') 'fret' can mean both 'offence' ('irritation' in Chambers) and 'harass'.
It's a long shot!

Bradford gives Teff for grass.
Parsing either Terf or Teff is difficult.

TCD gives Terf as Turf,
Turf is surface covered with grass.

I just cannot think of a word for
28 Boobs- complaint (7)

I have RI???TS
Thanks.

RICKETS - a double definition sunray.

Thanks drxx.
I did check TCD. It has no reference to Boobs.

I'd wondered about "rickets".
it is obviously a medical "complaint"...... but what about the reference to "boobs"?
Can someone explain, please?
