Spin drier in the bathroom? (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roller towel

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

'the bathroom?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'spin drier' is the wordplay.
'spin' becomes 'roller' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'drier' becomes 'towel' (I've seen this before).
'roller'+'towel'='ROLLER-TOWEL'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for roller towel that I've seen is " fitting for ladies or gents".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
