OXO Good Grips Extendable Shower, Tub and Tile Scrubber - 42 inches

I love this scrubber. It has an extendable pole that makes it possible to scrub the shower without bending over and hurting my back. The scrubber head works well to remove all the grime in the shower, and it's nice that it has a pointy tip to get in the corners to scrub. This thing is a life-saver because bending over to scrub the shower was killing my back. This makes it really easy to clean the shower. I just spray some Scrubbing Bubbles in the shower and let it sit for 15 minutes and then scrub it with this brush, with the pole extended, and then rinse everything away. So much easier now. This is a great deal, and this product is very sturdy because I am rough on stuff and I haven't managed to break it or wear it out! I highly recommend this product!

I'm an OXO fanatic; if they make a product that I need, or just really want, I'm likely to buy their version even if it costs more. Over the last few to several years, I've had more than enough solid experiences with this company to trust that their products will be worth the investment. This tub and tile scrubber is no exception. I hate cleaning the bathtub because I am getting old. Leaning way the heck over to scrub the far side? Well, that sucks. Trying to squat with bad knees in order to get into those corners, where all the gross stuff builds up? Not even a little bit of fun. Wondering if my wife will notice that I didn't clean behind the toilet because getting back there with a rag is about as likely as me becoming a Vine reviewer? Yeah, she notices. For awhile, I tried just standing in the tub while I cleaned, but that worked only on the shower-wall parts. The tub edges were still down oh so very low, mocking me and my not-so-youthful body as I tried to remove the soap scum. So I searched for something that would make my life easier and found this. Basically, this tub and tile scrubber is an extendable cleaning wand with fancy scrubby pads. I bought two types of refills: the spongy one and the brushy one. (Yes, those are technical terms.) However, this scrubber came with one sponge-style head, so I was set to go right out of the box even without the extras I'd added to my order. Just twist the scrubber to unlock, adjust the length (you can go from 26 to 42 inches) and twist back to lock. There. You're ready to scrub things. It's really that simple. After letting my powdered Comet soak for awhile, I did a little light scrubbing and obliterated the built-up soap scum that I'd neglected for months. The scrubber heads/pads are shaped like elongated home plates (yay for baseball references), so it's easy to find an angle of attack that gets right into those stupid nooks and crannies. Plus, the head pivots, making it even easier for me to get into those stupid corners that always seem to collect crud. So, for your home-cleaning needs, this is the perfect tool for anybody who doesn't want to bend or reach a lot. The scrubber is easy to hold, collapses down to the point where I can easily store it underneath the bathroom sink, and stands up to a decent amount of pressure. Plus, this isn't just for the bathtub. I can get that ridiculous space behind the toilet, which is finally free of dust bunnies thanks to OXO. Would I really lean in while scrubbing with this product? No. This is for the average home and its average cleaning needs. As for replacement brushes/sponges: they're fairly cheap at the time of this writing--about six for the scrubber/sponge and ten for the brush--so I'm okay with the recurring cost. Both types of heads hold up well anyway; I've seen almost no sign of wear on the spongy type even though I've used it almost exclusively since the product showed up on my doorstep.

So I was totally loving this scrubber. When the other day, I was cleaning the tub after I had rinsed off my hair dye and all this dye kept dripping out of it. OR so I thought....duh nuh nuhhhhhh! Anyway used it a cuople more days after and it still happened so IO was trying to extend it further to see if I could see where it had pooled. Couldnt open it so went to the website to see if there were directions that I was missing. And I happened to see a review that mentioned to dry it after use cause it could rust. I went to open it again and was able to somehow and all this brown gunky water dribbled out. and sure enough i saw some rust lines. I It was really gross. Ive been pulling it out ,more and more and cleaning out more rusty water. Called the company, theyre replacing it for me. And they said to store it right side up. I had stored upside down so it woudlnt get the little corner of carpet by my bathroom all wet. But now ILl jsut store it right side up resting on some plastic. So moral of the story is store it right side up. BUT that being said, it shouldnt rust if you do it wrong! BTW I loved the scrubbing power it was great not having to bend when cleaning the tub and gave my knees a break! Cleaning the tile on the shower walls was a bit trickier to get the grout clean.

Definitely a worthwhile investment, easy to dismantle and store after drying. I purchased this for the intent of cleaning my garden style tub and shower walls as they were starting to look a bit discolored. The bathroom doesn't get very good ventilation leading to some mildew-esque looking stuff on the grout of the shower. With two people regularly using a shower, tubs typically get a bit gray where the feet go, add soap scum and well, a short person with a deep garden tub don't mix too well. This has an extendable arm useful enough for someone to use without having to overstretch, regardless if you're vertically challenged or not. I paired it with CLR to clean the shower without any problems, scrubber worked better than I thought it would with minimal effort. The scrub pad is removable, meaning once you've worn it down you can replace it without having to purchase a new tool + pad for maintenance of your tub. This feature is fairly rare on most of these tub scrubbers charging such inflated prices. Therefore, if you're looking for function and ability to reuse, consider the OXO Good Grips Extendable Tub/Tile Scrubber. You'll get your money's worth. Do keep in mind not to let the orange pad sit on a surface to dry as it has the potential to slightly discolor a surface underneath it when left for prolonged periods (I left mine for two weeks and it baaaaarely discolored the surface, easy to clean with a little bleach). Turn the scrubber upside down and balance on the edge of the tub against the tile wall. Works handily that way to dry out then store.

I love this pole extender! I have trouble reaching my tiles that go to the ceiling. It's hard work cleaning all the surfaces in the bathroom, and this makes the job so much easier on the back!! This was a good buy and a helpful tool.

just got this, haven't even tried cleaning with it yet, and i'm already knocking off a couple stars for this badly engineered thing - like a lot of other reviewers, i initially couldn't get this thing to lock into place after extending, i would extend, twist and twist, nothing happened (the first time i got it working was like finding gold). here's how i'm able to do it now CONSISTENTLY (because that's key - in the heat of the moment of fighting the dreaded mildew, who wants to interrupt being in the zone to spend hours twisting this thing): 1. collapse it, handle goes all the way down towards the head until you can't go any further 2. hold the head/front pole (the end where the scrubber is), twist the bottom pole to the right, like you're using a screwdriver to screw in a screw, tighten it until it doesn't go any further and you can't extend the bottom pole (don't go nuts though - not so tight that you won't be able to untwist it). 3. while still holding onto the scrubber side of the pole, now UN-twist the bottom pole, BUT ONLY A LITTLE - maybe one or two rotations - just enough to start extending the bottom pole, while STILL FEELING some resistance/friction/tightness/rubbing against the poles while extending. 4. extend the pole to your desired length (you don't even need extend all the way) and lock it into place by twisting the bottom pole towards the right again. i'm convinced that there's some kind of shaft inside that needs to be pulled with the bottom pole when extending - if you extend it and you don't catch that internal piece with it, you're screwing nothing and it will never catch (i could be extremely wrong though - don't @ me on twitter). if you still don't get it - watch the nice lady on the oxo instructional video - notice how she starts with it collapsed, then only does a very small twist to unlock, extend, and twist to lock again. shame on oxo for making this difficult though, it's not very intuitive at all. an external button/catch/spring whatever would be so much better. let's hope it scrubs well, if not, i'll be back to knock off more stars :)

Awesome, tool to clean my shower! Easy to use, fits into corners to clean.

Great product! Easy to use and works great!
