brushers
Those who scrub
Brushers is the plural of brusher—one who brushes.
The word appears in occupational contexts: a brusher in mining clears loose rock from tunnel walls, while in textiles a brusher raises the nap on fabric.
More generally, anyone who brushes something qualifies: The brushers worked methodically through the horse stables each morning.
