Removes dirt by rubbing hard (6)

I believe the answer is:

scrubs

(Other definitions for scrubs that I've seen before include "special clothing for those working in the theatre" , "Protective garments for surgeons" , "Abolishes" , "Wormwood _____" , "Cleans with hard rubbing" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
