A clean home doesn't just happen by accident — it's usually the result of a solid cleaning plan and lots of elbow grease. While manual cleaning sessions are effective, they are also exhausting, not practical for the modern day, and may not even be feasible for someone with physical limitations. If you're looking for a cleaner home without the physical strain, the Bomves Electric Spin Scrubber may answer the call.

Retailing for $39.99 on Amazon, this cleaning tool offers cordless scrubbing power with minimal effort. It comes with a number of brush heads for different purposes (such as one for larger surfaces and another for getting inside crevices), can be adjusted to three sizes, and delivers two speeds — 300 and 500 rotations per minute — depending on how much scrubbing power you need. When extended to its full length, the scrubber's telescopic rod reaches 54 inches in length, although it's also able to be shortened to either 43 inches or 12 inches. The spin scrubber takes 2 to 3 hours to charge, after which time it will provide 90 minutes of cleaning time. The spinning head can help lift stubborn grime that you may otherwise struggle to remove with a manual brush, making it a low-effort way to keep your bathroom clean and spotless.

At the time of writing, customers had given the scrubber a 4.4-star average from over 13,000 reviews. Buyers mention that the scrubber provides great cleaning power, simplifying previously difficult tasks; there is some mixed feedback on the battery lifespan not being long enough. One five-star review on Amazon states, "Actually a good product, [it] worked to clean the shower."

Since you'll likely be using the spin scrubber to knock out shower and sink grime, it's important to thoroughly clean the brushes after you use them. You can fill a spray bottle with heavily diluted bleach — 5 tablespoons of bleach to a gallon of water — then thoroughly spritz the brush attachments to eradicate any bacteria present over the next few minutes. Give the attachments a good rinse to remove any lingering bleach before drying and returning the brush to its designated storage spot. If you have a bleach-free home, you can try bleach alternatives like vinegar. 

Next, wipe down the body of the scrubber with a disinfectant wipe in order to address any germs that splattered onto it while cleaning. It bears noting, however, that the brush is not designed to be immersed in water and doing so could result in failure to charge. If you need a cleaning tool that can be submerged under water, check out the HOTO Wand Cordless Spin Scrubber, which is often available at Costco's home and gadgets section for well under $50.

After using a brush attachment for any especially gnarly surfaces, like the toilet, it's a good idea to sanitize the brush head before storing it in a plastic baggie that is clearly marked. This will prevent any accidental cross contamination that may come from using the attachment on another surface. Lastly, storing the brush and its attachments in a small bin along with the necessary charging tools can guarantee you always know where the various components are.
