You Want These
If you’re thinking about getting brushes that attach to your drill, you should get a set of brushes that attach to your drill. DIYer? Get em. Contractor? Get em. Professional house cleaner? Gem em. Lazy? Get em. The only caveats are — you really shouldn’t use a corded drill assuming that you’re using your brushes anywhere near water; and a heavy drill can make the process a little bit cumbersome for weak arms. I just threw a little bit of concentrated Gain all-purpose cleaner and a few squirts of Kaboom shower cleaner in my tub and went to town. Immediately soap scum and stains that I’d previously cleaned came out. Did the tile walls. Switched to the rounded brush for the caulk, corners, and fixtures. My tub is an older one that isn’t the prettiest, but I am confident now that it’s clean. I’m looking forward to seeing what these can do along the edges where the floor meets the baseboard. If my drill weighed less, I’d be unstoppable.
Also a note to anyone dealing with illness/chronic illness, I’m a big fan of things that make the suck of cleaning easier. Cleaning is hard on the body regardless — all that bending over and awkward angles and scrubbing and so forth. If I was putting together a cleaning kit for someone, I’d recommend the Shark steam mop (with 3-5 cleaning pads depending on what kind/how much floor you have), Mr Clean Magic Erasers, and a set of drill brushes (and a lightweight cordless drill!). I have hardwood floors and also have a Roomba, just a baseline model that I bough refurbished, and it’s been going great for three years now (I do give it’s innards a good cleaning 2-3 times a year).
