Monopolise the laundry? Nonsense! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hogwash

'nonsense' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'monopolise the laundry?' is the wordplay.
'monopolise' becomes 'hog' (I've seen this before).
'the laundry?' becomes 'wash' (synonyms).
'hog'+'wash'='HOGWASH'

(Other definitions for hogwash that I've seen before include "Bunkum" , "Colloquial nonsense to pig cleanser" , "tripe" , "Utter nonsense" , "bull" .)
