Being work-shy, shun stains regularly created by table-top accessory (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
lazy susan
'by table-top accessory' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'being work-shy shun stains regularly' is the wordplay.
'being work-shy' becomes 'lazy' ('lazy' can be a synonym of 'work-shy').
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'shun'+'stains'='shunstains'
The alternating letters of 'shunstains' are 'susan'.
'lazy'+'susan'='LAZY SUSAN'
'created' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lazy susan that I've seen before include "Revolving table stand" , "Eaters help themselves here" , "here pepper-and-salt might put in an appearance" , "circulates items for consumers" , "that takes a turn at the tables" .)
