Save Yourself Some Cleaning Work With A DIY ScrubBot

Hate cleaning but love robots? If you want a little helper to get your housecleaning done a bit faster, build yourself a ScrubBot out of some scrubbing brushes, a frisbee, and an old computer fan.

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 Frisbee
  • 3 Scrubber brushes
  • 2 Computer fans (of the same size
  • 1 9V battery connector
  • 1 9V battery
  • 6 1-1/2″ bolts
  • 18 nuts for 1-1/2″ bolts
  • 6 1/2″ bolts and nuts
  • A bunch of small zip ties

Instructables user Randy Sarafan has created a simple robot designed to scrub your tables, floors, and other surfaces so you don’t have to. You can see what you need above, and the process of putting it all together is pretty simple. No special tools are required—it’s about as simple as putting together a basic piece of IKEA furniture. While your DIY ScrubBot isn’t going to be as powerful as a serious scrubbing solution you could buy in the store, it’s a lot cheaper and is capable of handling any scrubbing that doesn’t require a significant amount of pressure.
