To scrub veut dire frotter, nettoyer. Ce sont les Français en adoptant ce mot qui lui on donné le sens restreint de nettoyer d'une certaine façon (par lavage, comme décrit ci-dessus). Le Comité estime donc que les mots scrubber, to scrub et scrubbing sont inutiles et peuvent être remplacés par tour de lavage, laver et lavage. 2, record 1, French, - tour%20de%20lavage
