Sponge found in toilet, note (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loofah

'sponge' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'toilet note' is the wordplay.
'toilet' becomes 'loo' (loo is a kind of toilet).
'note' becomes 'fah' (fourth note in sol-fa notation, anglicized version).
'loo'+'fah'='LOOFAH'

'found in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for loofah that I've seen before include "Back scrubber" , "Bathroom sponge made of halo" , "Dried part of plant used as a bath sponge" , "Dry sponge used for scrubbing" , "Bathroom sponge for washing back" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
