A father of triplets is getting attention after his clever way to wash baby bottles was shared over 160,000 times on Facebook.

Aerol Peterson, proud dad to 7-month-old triplets Natashia, Arya and Trae, was recorded by his wife Christy as he washed the bottles using a power drill.

Peterson told "Good Morning America" he was able to fit one of the bottle brushes on to the end of the tool, and Christy captured the moment for family and friends.
