To put an overly dramatic point on it - it's Lady MacBeth washing her hands over and over again. "Out, damned spot!"
She's got blood on her hands here, even if it's not of her own doing. She knows it and she just keeps on scrubbin' in the hopes that the work can keep her mind off how she got it in the first place.
That was what created the dramatic tension. Watching someone work hard isn't interesting but watching guilt torment someone and push them towards a paralysis by analysis sure is.
