<em>Direct object</em>
Explanation:
A gerund phrase (<em>scrubbing with stain remover</em>) is a type of phrase where the main word is a gerund (verb root + -ing). Gerund phrase always serves as a noun and that noun can have the function of a subject, indirect or direct object, predicate nominatives or object of a preposition.
