OP Pad Buckets

March 19 2009 at 3:35 PM
Jeff  

Just wanted to share something I'm using to look more professional in residential homes. I had originally used 5 gallon buckets, then those red buckets used in Rubbermaid wringer mop buckets for waste water. Now these. Jon Don has them for about $120.00 for the set up.Although a bit pricey I think it looks better, no offense to anyone and what they are using.

Yes you are correct it is pricey that cart is way over priced
$50 for the entire set up sounds about rite.

I use window washing buckets now, never thought of finding a cart to put them in, I personally do not think I could find the room for it.

I do not like this set up at all. First of all, if you plan on wheeling this unit up and down stairs all day. I give it a week before the dolly breaks apart, just by looking at the picture.

I like the window washing bucket idea alot better. They even come with lids. You can double stack them and purchase a light duty hand truck that is MADE for stair climbing to transport your buckets.

looks better than what i use. but i like to keep the dirty pads "hidden" away from any1's eyes. therefore i use white, scented, 13 gall kitchen trash bags for dirty pads, and just a 5 gall bucket for the clean ones.

why not keep pads visible Derek? That way you prevent having to answer the question: "where does the dirt go"? lol

hi Alex happy.gif

i prefer to keep them hidden, in my mind, for the same reason that HWE recovery hoses aren't clear plastic - it can be an embarrassment to my client to see just how filthy their home is.

this way i save them some face.

that is my reasoning happy.gif

The dolly is just a rack to hold them, I would not take it up stairs either. I fortunate that I can still handle moving buckets without the help of a dolly. The buckets also have lids so show or don't show up to you.

Bucket n dirty pads

March 20 2009, 8:49 PM 

Looks good Jeff.

I always carry a clean white cotton pad w/ me in my bucket(s), that way it's always on top of the other dirty ones incase people do look in my buckets. Even though alot of times i show them how dirty their carpets are, makes 'em feel good i'm there to clean it up after them.

Just my way of thinking, nothing wrong w/ Derek's tho.

That's the microfiber mop set up.

Sometimes I find that if you can get exactly what you want, paying a little more will be worth it. If you had to put it all together yourself, it may be a little cheaper, but it may not work as well, and may not look as professional.
