How to Clean a Bathtub (FAST!!!)

$23
10 Minutes
Easy
We're all busy these days and don't have a ton of time to clean. That's reason I love coming up with cleaning hacks that save a boat loads of time.
Last week I found a little gadget called the PowerBall. It's in the automotive section of big box stores and can be used with a power drill.
The PowerBall is made of foam and won't scratch your tub or tile. Which makes it perfect for cleaning bathtubs.
Sure it's not perfect (severely stained grout won't look new again, that requires a different tutorial).
BUT if you need to clean your bathtub or tile floor in less than 10 minutes this could be the next thing you buy. It costs $22.47, not bad at all.
Check out my video tutorial over on Home Repair Tutor for all the details. I think you'll like the tips :)
Cheers,
Jeff

    Can you use this in a shower stall as well? It seems I can never get my shower stall clean enough no matter what I use. Thanks!

    Trying to find a cleaning method for a vinyl tub, it's not bad, but it has to be cleaned with something I can use with no breathing or bending difficulty
