laundrette

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cleaner establishment' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'city tent rude about' is the wordplay.
'city' becomes 'LA' (Los Angeles).
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'tent'+'rude'='tentrude'
'tentrude' anagrammed gives 'undrette'.
'la'+'undrette'='LAUNDRETTE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for laundrette that I've seen before include "Washing establishment" , "On film, mine was beautiful" , "cleaning outfit" , "Wash-room" .)
