Badly in need of a wash (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ripe

(Other definitions for ripe that I've seen before include "Strong-smelling" , "Ready (to be eaten or used)" , "Fully grown, ready for eating" , "Mature for eating like fruit" , "Mature and ready to be eaten" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
