Crossword Genius

Any item spoiling useful facility (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amenity

'useful facility' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'any item spoiling' is the wordplay.
'spoiling' indicates anagramming the letters.
'any'+'item'='anyitem'
'anyitem' anagrammed gives 'AMENITY'.

(Other definitions for amenity that I've seen before include "Item provided to make life easier" , "Any item (anag.)" , "Anytime (anag.)" , "Convenience - any time (anag)" , "Facility, useful feature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
