Rub hard (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

scrub

scour

(Other definitions for scour that I've seen before include "Full" , "search in detail" , "Thoroughly clean" , "Scrub clean" , "Clean by abrasion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, the Penny Press, The Mirror and the Evening Standard.
