Wash resin vigorously (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rinse

'wash' is the definition.
(rinse is a kind of wash)

'resin vigorously' is the wordplay.
'vigorously' is an anagram indicator (the letters move vigorously around).
'resin' is an anagram of 'RINSE'.

(Other definitions for rinse that I've seen before include "Remove soap with clean water" , "Mouth cleansing solution" , "Wash off surface dirt" , "Hair tint" , "Wash in clean water" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
