For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The OED doesn't list the verb to grunge away but, as well as giving the definition of grunge music ("A style of rock music characterized by a raucous, often discordant guitar sound, lazy vocal delivery, and downbeat, freq. nihilistic lyrics, and (in later use) influenced by heavy metal and punk rock.") it also lists another meaning: "A general term of disparagement for someone or something that is repugnant or odious, unpleasant, or dull; also, dirt, grime." It also says this is chiefly American slang - is your source American? The verb form could be related to this second definition of the noun grunge.
