Abstract: A rotatable scrub brush (10) having particular application for removing dried residue from a bucket (60) or similar container. The scrub brush (10) includes a shaft (30), one end of which can be coupled to a conventional drill (70). The opposite end of the shaft is connected to a hollow bulb (40) having cleaning bristles (42) projecting outwardly therefrom.  Openings (48) through the bottom (50) of the hollow bulb (40) communicate with respective water inlet ducts (44). When the bulb (40) is dipped in water (62) standing in the bucket (60) to be cleaned, the water will flow upwardly through the inlet ducts (44) to be collected inside the bulb. A  rotational force generated by the drill (70) is imparted to the bulb (40) by way of the shaft (30) to cause the bulb to spin at high speed. As the spinning bulb (40) is lifted out of the standing water and moved along the sides of the bucket (60), the water (62) collected at the interior of the bulb will be expelled therefrom through outlet ports (46) in order to moisten the cleaning bristles (42) and the residue on the bucket to be removed by the bristles.
