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

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.

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.
