Polish scratch (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scrub

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'polish' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'scratch' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for scrub that I've seen before include "Clean by rubbing really hard" , "Cancel (colloq)" , "Cancel; clean vigorously" , "poor growth" , "Rough country area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
