FlyLady's Rubba Scrubba One of the most frustrating things about taking care of our homes is when it seems as though you need a bunch of different cleaning brushes and products to do several things. Recently we found this rubber brush and discovered how multi-purpose it really is. Kelly went so crazy for it she insisted we had to carry it in the Fly Shop. Here is how Kelly describes FlyLady's Rubba Scrubba!

I have dogs and kids, this means dog hair and crumbs every where, all the time. I have been on a personal mission for years of just how to get the dog hair off the furniture. (Yes, I know I should train them to not get on the couch but they are members of the family) In my search I came across this rubber brush. It wasn't that expensive so I figured I had nothing to lose but hair so I gave it a try. I was so shocked!! I had just vacuumed the couches earlier that day so I was not thinking that there was going to be too much to try but wanted to get the feel of how it worked. I could not believe how much hair came off the couch that I could not see and given that I had just vacuumed. I stood there with it in my hand and tried to figure out why it worked so well compared to all of the other things I had tried. If you ever had long hair you will understand. If you use a rubber band on your hair to make a pony tail, it is really painful because of how the rubber grabs and pulls the hair. I was so thrilled, then as a joke I brushed one of the dogs with it and to my surprise the dog was so happy; I was able to grab all the loose hair on him and it did not hurt him. Over the next few days I realized the uses of the brush were endless. I used it as a whisk broom with a dust pan, to scrub the tracks in a shower door, to go along the baseboards where carpet meets the wall, I even used it to wash dishes - even better - just toss it in the top rack of the dishwasher to sanitize it!! I am telling you that this is hands down one of the neatest tools I have in my home now. I can use ONE item to do so much! I have decluttered a bunch of sponges, scrubbing brushes and whisk broom and have replaced it with this Rubba Scrubba! It is amazing! - Kelly

FlyLady's Rubba Scrubba is 10 1/2 inches in length and 1 1/2 inches wide across the brush head.
