No pegs, perhaps, for washing (6)
I believe the answer is:
sponge
'for washing' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'no pegs perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'no'+'pegs'='nopegs'
'nopegs' is an anagram of 'SPONGE'.
(Other definitions for sponge that I've seen before include "Sea creature - cleanser - cake" , "marine life?" , "Porous mass in oceans" , "'Porous, absorbent substance (6)'" , "Madeira, say" .)
