I'd put in stake behind washer! (5)

I believe the answer is:

bidet

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

'washer' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'i'd put in stake behind' is the wordplay.
'put in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'stake behind' becomes 'bet' (synonyms. I am not sure about the 'behind' bit.).
'id' placed within 'bet' is 'BIDET'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bidet that I've seen before include "Bathroom feature" , "Washing facility" , "Bathroom appliance" , "Bathroom basin" , "Bathroom fitment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
