Power tool to clean shower stall scum?

[pyrocpu]

Ha, you guys are great!
Yes, the wifey proposed a housecleaner/maid. I have huge trust issues, so that's a no go. I too counter-proposed with the pressure washer. Ain't nuthin' 3000psi from my pressure washer! No go either for her, especially after I pressure washed thru to the bone once (also was drunk--see a trend here...).

I like the other ideas as well, the other chemicals, the orbital sander w/ scotch-brite pad (this one I'm most interested in), various mollusks, and the attorney or two. I'll have to see about giving the orbital a go; it also is a great excuse to get another accessory for the cage.

but they're so cute!!

"Please, Sir, more mold and mildew?"

I even tried explaining that slugs are homeless snails so we would be doing a good deed.

I'll give you all a secret that I learned in college.

Snails.

Yep, snails.

You know what snails LOOOVE to eat?  Mildew and molds.  that's right.  They vacuum the stuff up like crazy.

If you have a bathroom with tile that is going black, pick up a slug or a snail and put him in on one of the grout tracks.  After a minute of "WTF?" he will start eating.

And he won't stop. 

The really fun part is that they suck it all out and it doesn't grow back. 

yes, they leave a trail but that washes away with water.

I am not kidding.  When I was in college, I used to go outside in the morning and pick up a slug and put him in the bath.  By the time I came home, he had done an entire wall of the bath.  The grout lines are like a choo-choo track for him.

Don't believe me?

A bonus?  this is the "greenest" way you could ever clean a bathroom, bar none.

You'd rather eat snails who lived outside and ate whatever they could find?  Bear in mind, snails are omnivores but also coprophages.

Do what the French do, get them from the grape fields.  Perfect revenge

my brother once caught two rainbow trout and put them in my Aunt's springhouse cistern.....fed them gobs of worms daily until they were monsters

he took one out after a few months and saute'd it in butter

guess what it tasted like?

sounds great, but i always try to avoid eating the stomach of any animal.  you never know what they last ate.

easy to do on a trout, you just pinch it out.  on a snail, not so much.

(i'm always reminded of the story my uncle told -- he was nypd harbor partrol in the 1950s.  they fished a mob victim out of the water -- in the bay, south of brooklyn... 

he was filled with crabs... they pulled him up on deck with a boom because of the weights tied to him and when the body hit the deck, it broke open.. crabs ... everywhere...)

Meh.

My buddy Rod used to go out and catch a bunch of catfish, you know, the bottom-feeding, scum-eating, scavengers of the lake fishing world?

He'd bring home anything bigger than 15 but smaller than 25 lbs.

Then he'd put them in a horse trough with a water flow system that was on the north side of his house and let em go hungry for a week. By the time he pulled them out, killed them, and skinned them, all of the fat deposits and all of the nasty residual flavors were gone. It was all just pure, white, catfish filet meat.

Some of the best freshwater fish I've ever had.

That's the same thing one does to Carp.  They are horrible tasting unless you flush them out.  My grandma used to get a live carp and put it in the tub overnight.  in the morning the water would look like brown soup.

best gefilte fish ever

My dear old dad used to do the same with eels.

I just can't help but picture your poor mum walking into the bathroom the morning after your dad's been out fishing, half asleep, reaching for the shower controls, and then letting out a howl to wake the dead.
