Washes surgeon's clothing (6)
I believe the answer is:
scrubs
This might be a double definition.
'washes surgeon's' is the first definition.
'scrubs' can be an answer for 'washes' (scrubbing is a kind of washing). I'm unsure of the 'surgeon's' bit.
'clothing' is the second definition.
(scrubs is a kind of clothing)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scrubs that I've seen before include "special clothing for those working in the theatre" , "Clothing worn in an operating theatre" , "Protective garments for surgeons" , "Wormwood _____" , "Abolishes" .)
