Crossword Genius

Aim for wash, spin, dry, yes? Take clothes off! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aspire

'aim for' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for aspire that I've seen before include "Yearn, dream (towards)" , "Aim at high things" , "Set your sights on" , "Direct one's hopes and ambitions" , "Wish to rise (to)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
