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

'getting rid of damp' is the definition.
(as in spin-drying damp clothing)

'snooping around home with doctor' is the wordplay.
'snooping' becomes 'spying' ('spy' can be a synonym of 'snoop').
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'home with' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in'. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'doctor' becomes 'Dr' (abbreviation).
'in'+'dr'='indr'
'spying' enclosing 'indr' is 'SPIN-DRYING'.
