I'm reading the Vampire Lestat book by Anne Rice and I came acroos an expression that I did not understand very well. That expression is "Fresh scrub". Here is a little bit of the text to understand the context better:
"They painted, and decked themselves out in gold and
Silver, even to walk to the grocery store. Or they went fresh scrubbed
And without ornament-it didn't matter. "
Anyone knows what the meaning is? Thanks a lot in advance!

According to the context of the book, I believe we could translate the sentence in this way:
"They painted, and decked themselves out in gold and silver, even to walk to the grocery store. Or they went fresh scrubbed and without ornament- it didn't matter."
"Eles (Elas) se pintaram e se adornaram em ouro e prata, até mesmo para caminhar até a mercearia. Ou eles (elas) foram limpos(as) / sem maquiagem / de cara limpa e sem bijuteria - (isso) não importava."
