I’m a big fan of using cordless drills to speed up tasks where possible, and this tip from The Manly Housekeeper takes the idea to the next level. Simply fit the top of a conventional hand brush with a nozzle, assemble the whole thing and get to work.

The video shows you how the final product works, but you can find the full step-by-step (with pictures) at the link below. It’s actually quite clever, as you don’t have to keep the drill handy to use it: you can still use the brush by hand if you like, and attach it to the drill when you know you need to do the whole shower. The author places the drill bit in the scrub brush, but uses a nut driver on the drill to magnetically attach the two. He notes that for best results, you really need to keep the brush and drill perpendicular to the surface you are cleaning. If you start tilting them, the scrubbing brush can come off and you’ll have to reattach it (since it’s just the magnet holding the two together).

You could use a proper bit attachment if you want it to be a bit sturdier, or pick up a Drill Brush, as one of his commenters suggested. In any case, hit the link below to see how he did it.
