do this work with scrubing pans?

[@archiedawg4877]

Big time game changer!!! I picked up one off of Amazon for about $25 and it came with 20 attachments, scrubbers , polishing pads & brushes (several sizes and shapes) of every kind! I’m absolutely in love with it, I’m just like a little kid at Christmas! When customers see you pull this out they know you’re not playing, they know the professional is here. And you talk about efficient! I cleaned out burnt pans that would otherwise needed to soak all day I had those clean in less than 3 min! Clean the sink that was 42 years old with a drill brush and barkeepers friend, absolutely amazing! I got so far down into the drains that even my garbage disposal now looks new. Once again thank you Angela and Angela‘s team for sharing all of your handy handy Info!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Archie, I’m so glad you are enjoying the drill brush and all the attachments. It is a wonderful tool. Thanks so much for watching the show and leaving a comment. 👍

What voltage drill is this? I went on Amazon and they have a million different choices for brushes. Is there a Angela Brown store? Yes I am new to this site. Love her.

[@POP-ir5jx]

Great video, and I ordered a kit from Amazon for 40.00. Just a thought though, you recommended using a corded electric drill. In most homes there is a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) in the kitchens and bathrooms, but some older homes don't have this protection. Since you are working in a wet environment, an electric drill is unsafe. The Black & Decker drill you are using is ungrounded so if water travels on the outside, you could get a lethal shock. Most new battery drills use lithium-Ion batteries and there is very little self-discharge. Even if you don't use it for months, the batteries will hold their charge. Don't mean to be judgmental, but I thought this would be worthy of your consideration.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

I appreciate you bringing this up and leaving a comment for other readers so they can be aware of this. Thank you! 😊

[@stephenyocum6609]

They do sell GFCI devices you can plug inline between the wall outlet and your power cord, you can buy them for relatively cheap online. I'm not sure I would trust my life to it, and I would be sure to get a UL certified product. Having one would greatly increase safety when using a corded drill on an outlet without GFI

[@TrishGolden]

Thanks to you, Angela, I was able to get some scuff marks off of a brand new floor because I had seen the previous video and I realized I had a similar brush at my disposal. Boom! What a Godsend! Got the scuffs up like they never existed. Thanks for all the info you give, it’s a wonderful education.

[@nate2838]

I'm just getting into this, i already had a 12v drill from a personal project, and that little thing does well. i have 2 batteries for it and so far in the time it takes me to drain one battery the other is already charged, so if i were get to a house for cleaning and noticed the batteries were dead i could charge one while doing other cleaning. a quality 12v drill runs about $100, and is light and small. I love working with it. Another plus of the corded vs battery is you need to bring the batteries in from the car when its cold. cold isn't good for batteries and at the very least causes them to drain faster while sitting. The reason i bought a 12v drill in the first place is it makes a nice drill driver for things around the house, and being small can fit in tighter areas than more normal sized drills.

[@shirleycosta6247]

Thanks Angela. You mentioned the drill brush in a previous video and I was intrigued. I have a cordless brush that I’ve used. It works just ok, not a lot of power. I don’t use it very often. I would like to buy the drill brush also. Thank you . Great information.

I’ll be buying several of these in the coming weeks, I can’t wait to try one out on a shower. Thank you for all the great info Angela.

[@nicholeeverett3010]

You CAN indeed purchase different brushes and make your own. All it takes is a washer and a bolt. Use the drill in reverse so it doesn't unscrew and replace brushes if ever needed. Much cheaper for a much larger varity. There are videos on that as well for anyone not confident.

[@nicholeeverett3010]

As I was posting I realized that your comment is over a year old lol I'll leave my reply anyway for others that come behind me. :)

[@xiexieantonidas9585]

EEEEK....BE SAFE!!! Drill Brush says that you are NOT supposed to use Drill Brushes with electric (plug-in) drills but ONLY BATTERY POWERED DRILLS. They say this is due to additional power of plug-in drills and the risk of electrocution when using around cleaners and water. I'm a Drill Brush fan and use them a lot detailing my car as well as cleaning in the house. I hope you'll reconsider and invest in a good battery powered drill. Dewalt batteries last a long time and hold their charges well and re-charge quickly.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you for the suggestions.

[@andrewrodriguez8492]

As long as you know how to handle corded power tools, you'll be fine. Only thing to remember is to let the corded power tool to completely stop moving before putting it down as they take a while to spool down

[@mjcechman]

Sounds like a great idea!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

I think so too. Thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching. 🙂

[@DougTreff]

Watching you vacuum in that foyer at 0:58, I have a suggestion. I saw you stop, bend down, and move the vacuum power cord multiple times. In the interest of "work smarter, not harder", try vacuuming AWAY from the power outlet instead of towards it. That way, the power cord stays mostly out of your way as you move across the room. Over multiple rooms and houses per day, think of all the accumulated time moving the wire that you'll save. Not to mention the reduced bending over, which will save your back muscles!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you for your suggestion and keen observation! You're absolutely right that vacuuming away from the power outlet can be a smart strategy to save time and effort. By doing so, I can minimize the need to constantly move and adjust the power cord, making the vacuuming process more efficient. Your tip about reducing bending over is also valuable, as it helps preserve back muscles and minimize strain. I appreciate your thoughtful input and will definitely keep this in mind during my cleaning routines.

[@nicholeeverett3010]

I'm not sure how I feel about some of this. As quickly as I had my ah ha moment when you mentioned the batteries being heavy to explain why you would prefer a corded drill, I thought about the cord, in the shower, or any other area with water and/or cleaning solutions. I have learned to respect the danger in using electricity around areas that could be wet. :(

[@AskAngelaBrown]

With any cleaning tool or product you always have to be careful. Thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching.

[@lukasadamson6091]

You might want to keep body and shower cleaning separated.

[@yenal3889]

Hi Angela, between this and Homitt Electric Spin Scrubber, which one would you recommend for personal use? My impression is that Drill Brush got more power than Homitt, so better for deep cleaning. I believe Homitt might be easier to use as it has angled head, extension and probably lighter than a drill. But I worry that Homitt doesn't have as much power as Drill Brush. Any thoughts, please?

[@atru3000]

Great review!! I dont have one but I will be getting one! I clean cabinets on a regular cleaning day, I should be charging extra for that? A drill with a cord in the shower scares me lol I have been cleaning the shower and accidentally turn the nozzle with my arm 😳 but I like this tool.

If the drill you wouldn’t have an accident because you would have an extender to keep you away from the nozzle that would be touched because you just be buzzing around with the bristles be safe be wise good luck to you

[@virgoshine]

Great videos...is there a possibility for wired dril to get burnt by splashing water?

Great question. The extension cords we use for electric drills are indoor/outdoor cords and waterproof. We try to never get them wet but if some water splashes on it, you won't get zapped. amzn.to/3tI7XMp

Purchased the tile brush and husband confiscated it immediately saying it would damage the tile in our huge shower. Big talk from the man who doesn't clean...ever. Told me he'd clean the shower. I let it go for several weeks, got good and moldy, until I broke down and cleaned it and recaulked and banned him from the shower for days while it "cured". Told me I could have the brush back!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Oh no! I'm laughing and I'm sorry. This sounds like he was trying to protect the shower from harm - and the tile brushes are designed for showers and tubs. I forgive him for wanting the best for you. And I love you for giving him the chance to have it his way for a bit. You are a good wife. 😍

[@melastname6548]

Which drill bit brush for sealed maple cabinets? Thx! I have a set of yours.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

The green one. Here is a paid link to the Drill Brush amzn.to/3PoqAzE and if you hover over the pictures - one of them is a menu. It shows which color can go on what type of surface. Each color is a different level of stiffness. Excellent question.

[@pyrokamileon]

I prefer the corded drill myself but I did see somebody say they don't recommend it because it is plugged into the AC and the wall so if you're going to be around water that is a danger. it does not deter me but it is something to keep in mind

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you for sharing this tip!

[@Toxin_kitty_dog]

How do you maintain the brushes? Thanks!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

The brushes you can soak in a bucket of diluted bleach 2 oz to 1 gallon of water. Soak your brushes overnight. NOTE: It's helpful if you have a big bucket or a bowl in a safe place like a laundry room sink where taking them out of the bucket won't drip water on the floor and stain the floors or any fabric nearby.

[@x0Desiderata0x]

What grout cleaner would you use with the drill brush?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Zep makes a really good cleaner and brightener amzn.to/39VoAKl and it works so well that when you put it on, count to 10 and start brushing as fast as you can and rinse. A longer dwell time is NOT recommended. But it will make your grout look brand new.

[@tanyae1815]

Hi Angela... What is the difference between BLACK+DECKER Corded Drill, 5.5-Amp, 3/8-Inch (DR260C) and the one you used Black & Decker DR260B 5.2-Amp 3/8-Inch Drill/Driver?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Hmmm, not sure other than the size of the amp. They may be similar and one is just a newer model.

[@dawnthomson9269]

Hi Angela, I have a white leather lounge & a cream leather lounge, I clean both of these by hand with the Meguiar’s products as I was always told to never use a brush on leather as you can ruin the grain so I was very interested in this clip that you used that brush. Think I am going to up my game & buy that kit to save time 😏

[@AskAngelaBrown]

The secret to using the brush is to only use the white one. There are different colors in the set and they all represent different levels of stiffness to the bristles. Check out this link amzn.to/3upJ6y0 and it will take you to the product on Amazon. Click on the pictures of the product on the left and one of them is the breakdown of which color of brush to use on what type of surface. You are correct that you can ruin the leather if you use a brush that is too tough by scratching the grain. Let me know how you like them. I'm eager to hear your experience. :-)

[@dawnthomson9269]

@@AskAngelaBrown Thanks for getting back to me Angela. The brush set looks great. I do have a confession I purchased a baby’s brush & tried that on the lounge & it did work but because of the size of the brush compared to the amount of leather I had to clean, it was a push. So I ended up going back to the sponge applicators & buffers. However that same sort of soft brush on the end of a drill would be great. I’ll let you know how I get on 🙂

[@gailstarnes375]

Have you used this on baseboards of walls? What kind of cleaner would you use?

[@emilyc9380]

Gail Starnes could probably use all purpose spray or warm water and dish soap.

[@cindyb3028]

I’ve been wanting to get something to make it easier for my house cleaning jobs but can’t decide if I should get this kind or the long cordless scrub brush. I’m 5 feet so having the long brush would be helpful for cleaning showers and tubs but I found one like this that comes with 22 attachments, for only $16.88 which is half the price of the long one and I can also use it to clean our cars.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

If you are a professional get the drill brushes that attach to an electric drill. The longer ones have about 3.5 volts where your electric drill will have about 20 volts. 5 feet tall is plenty tall for most of the cleaning you will be doing.

I tried the long brush and it didn’t really get out the tough stains so I returned it and got the drill brush attachments and I love it! I should have waited for your reply before jumping the gun.

The brushes are firm by the color of the brush. (If you buy a green brush they will all be safe on kitchen cupboards. The red from any of these vendors is to be used on fireplaces or brick.) The side of all of the boxes shows what surfaces to use the brushes on. (does that make sense?)

[@aloiswinzinger1160]

they do have lightweight impact cordless drills that weigh less. look at milwaukee m18 fuel.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

It's not just the strength required to use the cordless drill - it's just that in the middle of a job the battery often dies (it's easy to forget to charge it when you get home from a day of cleaning) and then you're stranded and back to using a hand held scrub brush. You are welcome to use whatever is easiest for you. I found personally we reduced our complaints about dead batteries completely when we switched from cordless to corded drills. No more "I can't finish the job" excuses.

It is always recommended to follow the safety instructions of the equipment you are using. Thank you for watching and joining the conversation!

[@jfaysal1971]

You mention using anything green ( brush or wipes) and yellow in the bathroom. I think green for vegetables hence kitchen and yellow for irons hence the bathroom

[@Lennard222]

I don't know what I should think about gloves and a drill. I was told never use anything rotating with gloves on. On the other hand, it's just a handheld drill

[@AskAngelaBrown]

The good news is that no one is judging you. You can use the drill however you like if it is for your own personal use. If you have employees using power tools under your care, it would be advisable to have them wear personal protective equipment for liability reasons.

[@iceblue1457]

Angela, can this be used to clean kitchen floor?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Hmm, I haven't used it for that. But I think it can help with scrubbing. Test a small area to see if it helps get your floors clean without causing any damage.

[@salehmadrajah5370]

Will it work for cleaning inside the oven?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

You can give it a try but I don't recommend it. The oven doesn't have a lot of space and to maneuver an electric drill you would have to sacrifice the proper positioning of your elbow which will put your arm in a weird position that will probably give you cramps. If you try it and it works let me know.

How long does the brushes last before wearing off?

I guess if you immersed the drill in water that could happen. But for the most part it's like using a big electric toothbrush. The brush part is what is touching the wet or damp surface. The drill is just the handle and for the most part it never gets wet. The drills I use are covered in plastic with plastic handle grips and buttons. And the cord is coated in a weatherproof material to prevent shocking you if it gets wet. Great question. I've never had a problem with rust on my electric drill and I've been using mine for years.

Can i use this Drill + White Brush + Krudd Cutter to clean shower Glass with lots of hard hard water?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Technically yes, the white drill brush is designed for glass, but I don't recommend it. I made a video about hard water using an orbital buffer kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKm4fIirrNCUerc and the reason for the orbital buffer vs the drill is the way they are designed to be used. A drill is designed with forward moving power. Which means you have to have MEGA control over the drill when using it on a shower glass door otherwise you'll plunge right through the glass. I've known LOTS of professional house cleaners who have made this mistake in client's homes and they end up replacing the shower doors they've broken. Excellent question.

Hi Angela. I was wondering can you get electrocuted using the drill when cleaning?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Any time you use electricity there is a possibility (however remote) that you could get electrocuted. We aren't using any water when using the drill brush, and with situational awareness (paying attention to your cord) you should be fine. We've never had an electrical incident while using one.

[@raba650]

Or just use an adapter for the cord to fit the connection.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

That works as well. Thanks for sharing this tip. 👏

[@carolinecraig1786]

Ok. The answer might be obvious, but why can’t you use a three-prong extension cord with a two-prong appliance plug and simply leave one of the homes empty? While we’re on it, what gauge should an extension cord be to safely use with a vacuum cleaner? Thanks!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Here in the USA, most of the electric drills have 3 prongs, the 2 prong extension cords don't fit. If it were the other way around, 2 prongs you could fit it into a 3 prong plug. Does that make sense? LOL. As for the vacuum cleaner, check the owners manual, it will give you directives about electrical wattage and what will and won't void the warranty. Every model is different.

How to remove acid stains from taps

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Are they hard water stains? And when you say taps is it just the faucets or are there mineral traces elsewhere?

[@kawcrow]

Important warning: the official Drillbrush website FAQ recommends AGAINST using the Drillbrush with a corded drill instead of a cordless, for safety reasons. "Q: Can I use this drill brush in a corded drill? A: No, corded drills pose a shock hazard in the environments that our products are used in. Also they often lack the control needed to fully utilize our products."

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks for sharing.

[@conniefox2643]

Hello, I just wanted to let you know the product advertisement said not to use with chords that it wasn't safe.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you Connie!

[@sallofatani]

Hello, so you don't risk yourself of electric shock using the cord one in bathroom?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

The cord is not submersed in any water. Most bathrooms are dry when using the corded drill. If by chance you are in a flooded bathroom you may want to rethink the cord - otherwise, just use your common sense. No one I've ever spoken to using the corded drill to clean bathrooms has been shocked by the electrical cord.

[@sallofatani]

@@AskAngelaBrown I see, bath dry here just at night when no one used it, anyway I'm worried about the cleaning product it self, dose is splash everywhere and get some in the drill it self? Not the flat brush you were holding, the round one Or is the drill waterproofed ?

[@ebonymichele]

What’s an up sale?

[@Toxin_kitty_dog]

Upsell just means it's not part of your usual package. For example, you'll clean the kitchen, but if they want the deeper clean they would get from a drill brush on a dirty cabinet, you upsell and charge extra for that service.

[@Ca31_Buff]

My brush kit came with different colours along with different stiffnesses. I will list them from Stiffest to softest Black- kitchen since it is stiff Yellow - car carpets White- anything else that needs soft scrubbing Toilet brush - any nooks and crannies I do not have any leather couches nor brick outside, but our fireplace is brick

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Here is a kit we recommend that has the cleaning brushes included for the leather and kitchen cabinets, amzn.to/2ZyEJUp it's true the colors have different stiffnesses.

[@Ca31_Buff]

Angela Brown thanks, but I’ve already bought one that works great! I am going to be cleaning grout with it on Wednesday. I can only use dawn dish soap and water to clean due to Covid-19 otherwise, I would use bleach.

[@ashleypauley4582]

You can buy a set of attachments as cheap as $12. Now. It’s maybe a knock off idk. I do have this same drill though.i just ordered my brush attachments today on amazon. I’m hopefully also getting my spin mop for Christmas also lol can’t wait to clean with all my new cleaning things. Then I want to buy more house organizing stuff too I lived in the same old house i moved in as soon as I I moved out my Dads house on my 18 birthday. I got a lot to do getting some nice ideas from your videos.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Congratulations Ashley on your new cleaning gear. I'm so excited for you (is that weird? Me being excited that you got a drill brush set LOL.)

[@ashleypauley4582]

@@AskAngelaBrown no cause I got excited and also get excited watching your videos and see what other cleaning things to buy to try next lol also i have a question. I live in a old rental house with a old bathtub that is so hard to clean and it gets dirty easy some reason I think n just clings to the tub n I can’t get it up. I think the tub is so old the finish is worn and hard to clean or something. I need a new tub but the landlords won’t do that.

Sounds good in theory, but something doesn't add up. Glass is much harder than leather and wood cabinets, so why is the soft leather bristle brush recommended for glass, but a medium for wood cabinets? I would be hesitant to use the soft bristle on wood, much less medium bristle! Remember, the faster the rotation when rubbing an object, the greater the friction. I would be very concerned scratching wood or the poly layer of coating of wood cabinets.

[@ginnyschroeder6888]

Glass does scratch, learned that the hard way. So would definitely use the soft brush on glass.

Get a pro-grade cordless drill with lithium batteries. Ditch the dollar store drill.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

It's true this drill is inexpensive - it's also lightweight and it's electric - I prefer this one because after using it for a few minutes with my arms over head (like in a shower or on tall cabinets) I don't have arm fatigue like I do when I use a cordless drill. The battery packs on the cordless drill are much heavier for women of my size. Not to mention that in the middle of a job at a client's house, if using a cordless drill and the battery charge goes dead - I'm back to using elbow grease instead of electric power.

[@Logan800]

I don't know women & technology sounds too hazardous. but I do like to see women cleaning I think it's attractive it's hard to find that today to empowered 😍😂😂
