Morphology
The compound is a straightforward noun+noun composition: 'scrubber' denotes a tool for scrubbing and 'shower' specifies its use/location, so the overall meaning ‘a scrubbing tool used in the shower’ is directly derivable. The pattern is transparent and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the item even if they haven't seen this exact label before.
Etymology
Shower scrubber combines shower and scrubber to give a simple picture: a small brush or soft mesh you use in the shower to rub your skin. That's why it means a tool for 'washing and removing dead skin'.
