Power tool to clean shower stall scum?

OK, so I get this is a rather asinine question... I'm feeling pretty bad for my +1, who often scrubs and scrubs the shower to get all that crappy soap scum off. Yeah, I know we ought to be using that Tilex spray stuff at the end of every shower session. Been forgetting.
Having said that, do you think it's reasonable to put something on my cordless drill, like a scouring pad? There must be some sort of power tool solution (kinda sound like Tim Allen now) for this, right? Anyone got ideas/solutions?
Ahhhh... the things I think of after several beers...

The best thing to use is just a brush, anything high speed is going to eat up the ground.
Don't use tilex, use Kaboom. Have you sealed that tile in the last 4-5 years? sealing it helps prevent mold growth

Scrub pad and abrasive like baking soda takes it right off.
If you *really* felt bad, you'd do it for her.

orbital sander with a scotch brite green scrubby pad attached to it....you'll make short work of the scum....be careful though, as you might make short work of the shower stall too....

my wife found the perfect solution...it is called a housekeeper
seriously tho, you don't want your wife ruining her hands with that kind of work....
there is nothing attractive about being fondled by a pair of hands
that look like they could belong to your prison cellmate

If it is caused / made worse by hard water (usually is), try some lemi shine. It's a dishwasher additive meant for hard water, works great at cleaning bathroom stuff too. It's all natural, I believe it is just citric acid.
BTW a pair of gloves works well to protect hands.
But if you have the budget for a housekeeper that's a nice solution too.

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.
