Clothes-pressing appliance (4)
I believe the answer is:
iron
'clothes-pressing appliance' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for iron that I've seen before include "sort of club" , "The metallic element plays a role in the transport of oxygen by the blood" , "sports club" , "Main component of steel" , "inflexible > club" .)
