« **on:** August 23, 2004, 10:14:25 pm »

What types of buckets do most people use?
Colour coded for waste or clean water
Square lipped or jug lipped
Capacity marked
Heated

Not that i am that really interested, it's more in relation to FORUM BURNOUT thread..........has this question been aked before

well i use a black calibrated bucket for my solution and i use a plain white bucket to put my soiled solution in at end of job because most customers would like to see how dirty there carpets were and as we all know white shows the dirt better

how can you give a serious answer to that question

Len,
You told me you have a bucket to carry your cash in

Chris,

You tried, but I asked this one on Cleantalk last year

I carry three colour-coded, square-lipped, graduated buckets - clean, dirty and insulator, not that you wanted to know that anyway

Len,

When using a TM, I still use a bucket - to bleed cold water out of the solution line before starting and after a break.

No longer use the solution line system but do use Solutions.

John you should do what I do, i poke my wand out of the window and pull the trigger until its steaming

The only use for buckets I have nowerdays is to catch my tears when i'm reading Paul Chambers post about how hard he's finding it

I use a bucket for carrying spotters and stuff when I have a stain that refuses to be blasted out. otherwise handy for stopping bits rolling around the van.

Mike,

With my poor old eyes, I probably would'nt notice that the window was closed

Len,

You couldn't get all your money under a JCB, let alone a spade.

John,

I read your words of wisdom on Cleantalk.

I think I did contribute, but if I did not I noted the contents.

Getting rid of the waste in buckets is my biggest concern.

In my experience Customers do not like it being put down the loo.

Down the sink.

Not too keen on their roses also leaves a lot of fluff that you then need to pick up.

When i cleaned cookers my oven cleaner supplier informed me that sometime this year new legisalation is coming in regarding disposal of waste water with oven cleaner ph14 in it, it will need to be taking to a water treatment plant, when i lived in Shaftesbury Dorset i would of needed to go 30 miles to Bournemouth to be charged £15 a gallon to dispose of it, and on top of the that te supplier had a duty to inform the relavant bodies who was getting the chemical.LETS HOPE THAT DOSENT HAPPEN TO CC.

Not if you use a fluff-filter.

I would have aquired a fluff filter but never seen one.
Next time I am in town I will buy some netting and put it over bucket when I empty it.

« **Reply #23 on:** August 26, 2004, 02:38:51 pm »

Ian,

The best place for a fluff filter is in your vacuum line.

The fluff is trapped before entering the waste tank.

I think Hydromaster sell a good one.

Regards,

John.

Should not have fluff......... if vacuumed then gone over with Sebo Duo then vacuumed again

« **Reply #25 on:** August 26, 2004, 02:59:44 pm »

Chris,

With some carpets it just keeps on comming - perhaps it breeds in the warm, damp air of the vac hose

John.

« **Reply #26 on:** August 27, 2004, 10:36:50 am »

Regarding Sebo Duo.

Do you think I would get better results with this and a wand.

Or would I get better results if I invested in Rotovac

Or do I need both bits of kit.

The list goes on

Maybee I better get a transit after all

You would need a DOUBLE DECKER bus to carry all you THINK you would need
