Each kid has a power to morph into an object related to hand-washing. The full group consists of Hot Shot (who turns into a hot tap), his sister Chill (who turns into a cold tap), Taki (who turns into a clock), Squeaks (who turns into soap), Scruff (who turns into a nailbrush), Tank (who turns into a sink), and PT (who turns into a paper towel).

Most of the kids' characterisation revolves around their object in some way (Scruff is a neat freak, PT has a "dry" sense of humour, etc) but some of their personality traits are just that (Tank likes strawberry milkshakes, etc).

'''''[[https://www.scrubclub.org/ Scrub Club]]''''' is a website sponsored by a company called NSF International.

It is about seven children known as the Scrub Club whose job it is to make sure everyone washes their hands to prevent evil germs (led by one named BAC) from taking over.

Each kid has a power to morph into an object related to hand-washing. The full group consists of Hot Shot (who turns into a hot tap), his sister Chill (who turns into a cold tap), Taki (who turns into a clock), Squeaks (who turns into soap), Scruff (who turns into a nailbrush), Tank (who turns into a sink), and PT (who turns into a paper towel).

Most of the kids' characterisation revolves around their object in some way (Scruff is a neat freak, PT has a "dry" sense of humour, etc) but some of their personality traits are just that (Tank likes strawberry milkshakes, etc).

Other protagonists are Ship-Shape, the leader of the club, and Gel-Mo, a shapeshifting creature made of hand sanitizer.

----
* BlueMeansCold: Chill, who turns into a cold tap and whose favourite day of the year is the coldest, wears all-blue clothes.
* {{Catchphrase}}: Taki is described as liking to say, "Rub your hands together and give me 20!".
* DiseasePreventionAesop: The whole website was designed to teach kids to wash their hands and prevent contacting and spreading diseases.
* DrinkBasedCharacterization: Hot Shot's favourite drink is hot chocolate, which ties into his persona revolving around heat.
* GuiltyPleasure: Apparently, Scruff's guilty pleasure is soaking his fingernails.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Being able to turn into a hand-washing tool seems like a lame power at first, and stopping diseases spreading is a kind, but not really epic, skill. On the other hand, some transmissible diseases can be fatal, so maybe it's not so lame after all.
* MeaningfulName: Most characters have meaningful names:
** Hot Shot and Chill are named that because they have powers related to heat and cold.
** Squeaks is called that because soap sometimes makes a squeaking noise.
** PT has the same initials as the phrase "paper towel".
** Gel-Mo is called that because he's made of hand ''gel''.
* MonikerAsEnticement: The website says that kids who promise to wash their hands can join the Scrub Club too.
* MonstrousGerms: The bad guys are all grotesque, sentient, evil, green germs.
* NeatFreak: While all of the Scrub Clubbers' personas revolve around hand-washing, Scruff takes the cake as his guilty pleasure is soaking his fingernails and his favourite songs have to do with cleanliness.
* NerdGlasses: Squeaks wears glasses and is described as an absent-minded professor.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Squeaks's favourite TV anchorman is Dan Lather, a pun on Dan Rather.
* OpaqueNerdGlasses: Squeaks's eyes are not visible through his glasses.
* {{Pun}}: The club members are described as "soaperheroes".
* TrademarkFavouriteFood: Tank is nearly always seen drinking strawberry milkshakes.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Played straight for Gel-Mo who can morph into whatever he likes, and downplayed for the kids, who each have their own alternate form (although Squeaks can turn into multiple soap types).
