What is claimed is: 1. A hand-held motorized household cleaning apparatus comprising: a housing; a battery located in the housing; a motor located in the housing and connected to the battery; an output drive shaft driven by the motor, the output drive shaft being rotatable about a shaft axis and having a first coupling end; a cleaning attachment that is rotatable about an attachment axis, the cleaning attachment having an input member with a second coupling end that is configured to drivingly but releasably engage the first coupling end; a flexible adapter that may be selectively interposed between the output drive shaft and the cleaning attachment, the flexible adapter having a first drive end, which is configured to drivingly but releasably engage the first coupling end of the output drive shaft, and a second drive end, which is configured to drivingly but releasably engage the second coupling end of the cleaning attachment, the flexible adapter permitting rotation of the cleaning attachment between a first position, wherein the attachment axis is generally coincident with the shaft axis, and a second position, wherein the attachment axis and the shaft axis are arranged in an oblique condition; wherein the flexible adapter includes a unitarily formed flexible member that interconnects the first and second drive ends; and wherein the flexible member defines a first mounting flange having a plurality of drive tabs that are fixedly coupled to the first drive end. 2. The hand-held motorized household cleaning apparatus of claim 1, wherein at least one necked down portion is formed about the flexible member. 3. The hand-held motorized household cleaning apparatus of claim 2, wherein two necked down portions are formed about the flexible member and a plate-like structure is disposed between the necked down portions. 4. The hand-held motorized household cleaning apparatus of claim 1, wherein the flexible member has a durometer of about 35 Shore A to about 60 Shore A. 5. The hand-held motorized household cleaning apparatus of claim 1, wherein one of the first drive end and second drive end defines a female socket and wherein the other one of the first drive end and the second drive end defines a male socket. 6. The hand-held motorized household cleaning apparatus of claim 1, wherein the drive tabs comprise a plurality of cylinders that extend from a remainder of the first mounting flange. 7. The hand-held motorized household cleaning apparatus of claim 6, wherein the cylinders are received into corresponding apertures that are formed in the first drive end. 8. A hand-held motorized household cleaning apparatus comprising: a housing; a battery located in the housing; a motor located in the housing and connected to the battery; an output drive shaft driven by the motor, the output drive shaft being rotatable about a shaft axis; a cleaning attachment that is rotatable about an attachment axis, the cleaning attachment configured to releasably engage the output drive shaft; and a flexible adapter that may be selectively interposed between the output drive shaft and the cleaning attachment, the flexible adapter having a first drive end, which is configured to releasably engage the output drive shaft, and a second drive end, which is configured to releasably engage the cleaning attachment, the flexible adapter permitting rotation of the cleaning attachment between a first position, wherein the attachment axis is generally coincident with the shaft axis, and a second position, wherein the attachment axis and the shaft axis are arranged in an oblique condition; and wherein the flexible adapter includes a unitarily formed flexible member that interconnects the first and second drive ends, the flexible member including a pair of mounting flanges separated by two necked down portions formed about the flexible member and a plate-like structure is disposed between the necked down portions. 9. The hand-held motorized household cleaning apparatus of claim 8, wherein the pair of flanges include a plurality of drive tabs fixedly coupled to at least one of the first and second drive ends. 10. The hand-held motorized household cleaning apparatus of claim 8, wherein the flexible member has a durometer of about 35 Shore A to about 60 Shore A. 11. A hand-held motorized household cleaning apparatus comprising: a housing; a battery located in the housing; a motor located in the housing and connected to the battery; an output drive shaft driven by the motor, the output drive shaft being rotatable about a shaft axis; a cleaning attachment that is rotatable about an attachment axis; and a flexible adapter that may be selectively interposed between the output drive shaft and the cleaning attachment, the flexible adapter having a first drive end, which is configured to releasably engage the output drive shaft, and a second drive end, which is configured to releasably engage the cleaning attachment, the flexible adapter permitting rotation of the cleaning attachment between a first position, wherein the attachment axis is generally coincident with the shaft axis, and a second position, wherein the attachment axis and the shaft axis are arranged in an oblique condition; wherein the flexible adapter includes a unitarily formed flexible member that interconnects the first and second drive ends; and wherein the flexible member defines a first mounting flange having a plurality of drive tabs that are fixedly coupled to the first drive end. 12. The hand-held motorized household cleaning apparatus of claim 11, wherein the drive tabs comprise a plurality of cylinders that extend from a remainder of the first mounting flange. 13. The hand-held motorized household cleaning apparatus of claim 12, wherein the cylinders are received into corresponding apertures that are formed in the first drive end. 14. The hand-held motorized household cleaning apparatus of claim 11, wherein the flexible member has a durometer of about 35 Shore A to about 60 Shore A.
