One frustrating cleaning project is removing stubborn soap scum from shower doors and tile, but the Ryobi Vortex power scrubber may be the answer. Using an equal mixture of vinegar and dish soap on the scum and scrubbing it with the tool works nicely, according to one Amazon reviewer. "We have a large shower with glass walls that show off any soap scum or hard water spots really well. Just a few minutes with the Ryobi and a little vinegar solution, and the whole thing is perfect." YouTube reviewer ToolSpecs agrees. "The scrubber did an amazing job removing most of the hard water stain in this glass."

If you use an old toothbrush to clean the grout between your floor or shower tiles, one Amazon customer reviewer says switching to the Ryobi Vortex power scrubber makes this job far easier. "This thing makes some of the most tedious cleaning tasks much simpler. It made short work of the grout in our tile floors."

When doing car detailing, YouTube reviewer Omni Garage says the Ryobi Vortex is perfect for many aspects of the job, including scrubbing filthy carpet floor mats. "I think this is where this tool would actually come in quite handy. ... [Previously] we would scrub manually back and forward to make sure we could agitate the product into the mats that we were trying to clean." With so many potential applications, this Ryobi tool cuts down on time spent scrubbing and money spent on specialized tools, so you can spend more time on the exciting parts of owning a home.
