She washes area surrounding Hollywood strip (9)
I believe the answer is:
laundress
'she washes' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'hollywood strip' is the wordplay.
'hollywood' becomes 'LA' (Hollywood is a neighbourhood of Los Angeles).
'strip' becomes 'undress' (synonyms).
'la'+'undress'='LAUNDRESS'
'area surrounding' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for laundress that I've seen before include "Disguise for jailbreaker in famous tale" , "Washerwoman" , "who's got her clothes?" , "She'll clean" , "Woman washing clothes" .)
