scrubbing out
Erasing with effort
Scrubbing out is cleaning something thoroughly by scrubbing, usually the inside of a container or enclosed space: She spent the morning scrubbing out the oven.
The phrase emphasizes both the vigorous action and the completeness of the cleaning—removing stubborn grime rather than giving a quick wipe.
