Always like to have a bit of water in it that way of the mop is drying up you just put Iit in the bob and shake it a bit.

Don't use it with water in it, only use it for holding a wet applicator/squeege, I've cut a piece of thin polythene to fit on belt and use between bob and trouser leg, usually stay dry. Use a plastic spray bottle to wet windows.

If you keep water in it then it saves you going back to the bucket for a dip.

I don't work carrying a bucket mate. OK, maybe my work is very compact, and I don't have to move it much during the working day, but I saw one of the guys on Youtube using a bottle on a belt, and stuck a holder on to the sides of my ladder instead. 2 bottles of 250 ml is enough for about 5 or 6 3 bed semi's. I use monsoon mops and dip them when I return to the van. A bucket weighs about 7 or 8 kiloes. Who wants to carry that about all day?
Been happy using bottles for the last 7 or 8 years.

Try it, maybe it's a good idea for you. If not, stick with lugging a bucket about.

One dip does me two, 3 bed semi's or 3 average sized bungalows.
The houret never has more than 2 or 3 inches in so it's not that heavy.
I leave it somwhere on the street and move it a few yards every half hour or so.
I dont like carrying any extra weight, it gets in the way when i'm hedge hopping or climbing etc.

Then that's the same as the bucket staying in the van.  ;)
