Has anyone got any genuine tips on how to keep the water in your bucket whilst driving. I know it sounds daft and I do not drive like Schumaker but my car boot and now the seats are sopping wet.
Is there something everyone uses??

Hi recs,
          When i am doing my domestic work i use a round bucket that fits in between the rungs of my ladder which saves it being in the van.

I've never had any trouble driving around with the bucket in the boot!! just leave the T bar in! ( using a proper oblong bucket ) and dont overfill!

I use 25 litre to 8 litre plastic water containers. I don't save water between each clean.

you can get a bucket with a lid on. i use an oblong bucket without a lid and have no problems.  gerry

[karlosdaze]

I also use the oblong, I have a plastic sheet with a hockey strap, but can also be folded over to keep the water in, never use it for that though. Its for keeping one of those car-tidy pouches around the rim, with my cards, pen, vat book, scraper etc in it.

I keep my bucket (when in the van) in a plastic storage tub, with plastic hinged lid - was under £10. I put t-bar in bucket, but it still spills out  (4 oclock onwards) the tub catches any.

use a window cleaning bucket and leave your applicator in the water

Started using Bucket in a Bottle a few years back and haven't looked back.  No more bucket to drag along and bend over to, easy storage, mine goes over the seat back on my work belt.

people make things so complicated :


i put my bucket into a bigger bucket any spillings go into the bigger bucket! simple easy hardly ever spills anyway.

Don't forget to make sure that the bucket is baffled.  I'm baffled too as to why so many threads are being dragged up that date from the Roman invasion.

Pulex bucket with lid

Bucket in a bottle, don't you mean Bucket on a Belt BOAB

Bucket in a bottle is basically a bottle with detergent mixed, and you apply it to your washer. Can't imagine it working well, how do you rinse it out after a while? Customers tap? 

You just need to get a bucket with a lid, and just put all your tools in there.

Everytime I see a windowcleaner with a bucket in between the runs, I automatically think 'cowboy'. Think it looks very amateurish.

only reason I would not put it in the rungs is because van is to high, for anyone using a car and does not have any sign writting this is there advert so would say its a plus point for them.

I guess I am a snob as I have a van, sign writting and a magic water stick

blimey this is proper old school stuff! do you still use newspaper and vinegar like your nan swore by!

[tradman]

i dont use a bucket anymore, i have a pump sprayer with a tube going thru my applicator handle thru a hole in the t bar and into some b&q 7mm n tees. i use 6mm of gg3, its brill and sped me up by at least 40% coz i'm using clean mix every time, no detailing at all, not a sausage!!! only down side have to use clean applicator sleeve everyday.

Put a lid on it (the bucket that is) :)and wedge it in somewhere where it won't topple over as you drive around corners.
