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

'something used in bathroom' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'idiot overturned article' is the wordplay.
'idiot' becomes 'fool' (both can mean a stupid person).
'overturned' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'article' becomes 'a' (English indefinite article).
'fool' backwards is 'loof'.
'loof'+'a'='LOOFA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for loofa that I've seen before include "cleaner" , "scrubber from Bath" , "Fruit used for a sponge" , "Firm sponge" , "One in bath" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
