The hole in my scrubber was just a little bit too small for my 5 inch hex screw, so I used a larger drill bit and drilled it to the right size. Step 3: Insert 5 Inch Hex Screw
Once my hole was the right size, the screw slipped in easily. Step 4: Add a Washer and Nut
I wanted the brush to stay in place at the end of the screw, so I put on a washer and then a nut to secure it. Then, I just reached my fingers as far in as I could to twist it tightly into place. Step 5: Add to The Drill
Next, I insert the brush/screw combo as I would any drill bit — just slipped it into place and then twisted my drill tight around it. Step 6: Put the Drill in Reverse
When I first tried this trick, my drill kept unscrewing itself from the brush. I found that when I put the drill in reverse, it did exactly what I wanted, just spinning the brush so that it turned into a power scrubber. Step 7: Scrub Your Tile
I was so amazed by the instant sparkle this power cleaner gave my tile, that I can’t WAIT for the next time it gets even a little bit grimy. Bonus: My husband heard the whirring and decided her had to clean the rest of the tile in the house! Now we’re wondering what else power tools can clean…
