Turn to cleaner for snack (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rollmop

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

'snack' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'turn to cleaner' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 'roll' (rolling is a kind of turning).
'to cleaner' becomes 'mop' (something which 'cleans').
'roll'+'mop'='ROLLMOP'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rollmop that I've seen before include "Dish of herring fillet" , "Herring pickled in spiced vinegar" , "Pickled herring wrapped around onion slices" , "Curled-up herring fillet" , "Ex-swimmer preserved" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
