Dug tins out for cleaning (7)
I believe the answer is:
dusting
'for cleaning' is the definition.
(dusting is a type of cleaning)
'dug tins out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'dug'+'tins'='dugtins'
'dugtins' is an anagram of 'DUSTING'.
(Other definitions for dusting that I've seen before include "light cover" , "Light covering; a home chore" , "Cleaning" .)
