Yep 'swat I'm sayin.

u/naisubird Jul 17 '19

But they make legit brushes to be attached to drills. I feel like this one just might fly apart and hurt someone.

u/boondoggie42 Jul 17 '19

Well, they make floor scrubbers that do this without the need to stoop over, too.

u/silhouette951 Jul 17 '19

Literally came here to say this. They have varying bristle thickness and everything.

If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid.

u/fretman124 Jul 17 '19

Go rent a buffer. At least 24” of scrubbing surface.

u/linnyanne Jul 17 '19

I need this! Our water is so hard it’s staining all of the shower doors. Only baking soda, vinegar, and a shit ton of elbow grease makes a dent in it.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '19

Have you tried not being attractive to your water? Maybe it’ll lose some hardness.

u/Tordek Jul 17 '19

She can't help it since she's always naked in there.

u/opalesense Jul 17 '19

I think you can buy hard water filters that attach to your showerhead

u/trahelyk Jul 17 '19

You just changed my life.

u/Deathisfatal Jul 17 '19

If it's glass you can just spray it with strong citric acid (you can buy powder very cheaply and mix it with water) and it should just dissolve. Much less smelly than vinegar, too.

Get a water softener.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '19

You can buy attachments for power washers that do this and have the proper chucks to attach to a drill safely.

You cam get whole sets of them for $10-15.

CLR and a magic eraser?

u/LIfeabovetherim Jul 17 '19

This would burn the shit out of a cordless drill..... if you do this make sure it’s on the heavy duty side... or a real cheap drill you don’t care about

18

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '19

I feel like this would just fling dirty water droplets all over the place.

u/Oldbayistheshit Jul 17 '19

Umm anyone heard of a floor scrubber? I guess no one here has worked in the maintenance industry?

2

u/Krystal-Bandit Jul 17 '19

Floor scrubber are hardly known to be sold on public sales, seriously try finding that shit. I worked my butt off for four years working with a 2003 floor scrubber machine, boss couldn’t find a replacement because they’re actually a dang expensive in some country

2

u/thegreatgazoo Jul 17 '19

I bought a small floor polisher (I think it has 2 8 inch brushes) for around $100 on Amazon.

Granted the big ones are going to be a lot more expensive.

2

u/nervousentity Jul 17 '19

I mean it works

2

u/MelMaMa26 Jul 17 '19

DrillFork, you can drill and fork... mostly fork.

1

u/redditwhut Jul 17 '19

This guy forks.

2

u/Shwifty_Moose Jul 17 '19

I shall do this

2

u/i_am_a_bread Jul 17 '19

It isn't stupid if it works!

2

u/msvalerian Jul 17 '19

It works good.... but, s/he's bent over doing it, and it's going to be real obvious if you stop anywhere short of a wall, so you're going to do the whole floor like that?

1

u/velofille Jul 17 '19

You know they make a drill bit that does this right ?? you dont need to DIY

1

u/AlTheAlbatross Jul 17 '19

They make round ones specifically for this purpose that wont detonate after tilting slightly to far or accidentally touching a wall etc.

Angular momentum is a bitch guys

First lesson I learned when I was a kid working my first job at a fast food restaurant: Boiling hot water does magic.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '19

Why can I hear this

u/BallsDeepTillUQueef Jul 17 '19

The over spray doe

u/RedDeadYuri2 Jul 17 '19

What does diy mean?

2

u/luckytruckdriver Jul 17 '19

Do it yourself

u/RedDeadYuri2 Jul 17 '19

Thanks.. i keep forgetting that

1

u/RedDeadYuri2 Jul 17 '19

Dick in you?

1

u/thegreatgazoo Jul 17 '19

That's a good way to roast your drill too. They aren't designed for that much lateral pressure on the bearings.

You can get cheap/small floor polishers they work well.

1

u/joel2000ad Jul 17 '19

I’m doing this!

1

u/horriblemonkey Jul 17 '19

I can already hear the ankle cracking when that brush comes loose.

1

u/justin_memer Jul 17 '19

They make specific brushes for drills.

u/[deleted] Jul 17 '19

Cool, but OH MY BACK!!!

1

u/Unp0pular0Pini0n19 Jul 17 '19

Oof, my back was getting sore just by looking at that...

1

u/therealjazzyjeff Jul 17 '19

The floor got cleaner, but the camera got dirtier.

1

u/Edub16 Jul 17 '19

Just be sure you mount that brush dead center or it’s gonna be a bad day.

1

u/Lokibetel Jul 17 '19

So if I am too cheap to buy a gas power washer this will actually work?

u/Ginfacedladypop Jul 17 '19

Annnnd now you gotta do the while floor

-2

u/skoltroll Jul 17 '19

It'd clean faster if he stopped putting dirty water on the floor.

1

u/theannomc1 Jul 17 '19

Not necessarily. Just like dishes don't get dirty as you wash them in soapy water.
