'you can shift it out' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'of satin' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates an anagram (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'satin' with letters rearranged gives 'STAIN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stain that I've seen before include "Mark with colour, dirt" , "Black mark for saint" , "Unsightly mark" , "Colour, dye" , "Taint" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
