Uso & Matices

Used most often for cleaning hard surfaces (floors, pots). Common in the passive: 'The table was scrubbed clean.' Also used for removing stains, or in digital contexts ('scrubbed data'). Less formal; in medicine, 'scrubbed' means thoroughly cleaned (e.g. before surgery). Don't confuse with 'rubbed' (less intense cleaning).
