Today I found myself facing a toilet that had been accumulating
crud
for a significant period of time. None of the usual toilet-bowl
cleaning chemicals seemed to have any effect at all, on
dislodging the
crud from the porcelain. A scrub brush did work, but slowly.
So,
Idea!
It happened
that this particular toilet-bowl scrub brush had a
straight round
handle, and the
brush itself was largely spherical in its construction/bristly-
ness. I got out
my
electric drill and used its chuck to hold the brush handle like a
drill
bit. The variable-speed drill can now spin the brush at up-to a
couple
thousand RPM. Some time later, after a fair amount of crud
had been removed
from the toilet bowl, I decided to take some time to post this.
And now, back to
applying
Electric Elbow Grease to a traditional dirty job...with
something of a grin on my face.

[bigsleep], actually, the lip the bowl is keeping that from
happening. Otherwise I wouldn't be grinning. |
|
| |
Would a hammer drill have been even more effective? |
|

You can usually rent jack-hammers at the local tool rental shop. |

What in the hell have you been eating lately? |
|
| |
Can we not just pack loads of loose bristles around a modestly sized explosive charge? |
|
| |
That is theoretically possible, although we have serious issues with "modestly sized" ... |
|
| |
Probably this Idea should have been named "Electric Toilet
Brush" (we could certainly imagine motorized brushes
getting sold), but I like the current name better. |
|
| |
Err, that grin on your face has brown speckles. |
|
| |
If it came with a disposable biodegradable one-size-fits-all seal this would sell. |

I simply love the title. So + |
