'household item' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'sand put out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'sand'+'put'='sandput'
'sandput' anagrammed gives 'DUST-PAN'.

'in' is the link.
