Ribbed washing surface
A scrubboard is a washboard—a ridged surface, typically of metal or glass set in a wooden frame, used for hand-washing laundry by rubbing fabric against the grooves.
The term also describes any ridged or corrugated surface resembling one: The dirt road was a scrubboard of ruts.
In music, a scrubboard can be played as a percussion instrument.
