Cloth right inside implement (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trowel

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

'implement' is the definition.
(trowel is a kind of implement)

'cloth right' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is present in the answer.
'cloth' could be 'towel' (towel is a kind of cloth) and 'towel' is found within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'inside' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
