Is there a similar expression as "elbow grease" in Japanese?


The idiom [elbow grease](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbow_grease), and in
French "huile de coude" means that the only thing that is required is putting
some manual efforts into an action (scrubbing, washing, mixing...). The term
elbow grease was first used in 1672; a 1699 dictionary of slang called it “a
derisive word for sweat.”.

For example:

> Avec un peu d'huile de coude, tu peux enlever ces tâches.

> With a bit of elbow grease, you can remove those stains.

It means that the only way to remove the stains is to scrub vividly (not using
some kind of grease/oil). Is there a similar idiom/expression in Japanese ?
