Rubbermaid Brute Divided Bucket?

[andyman]

I use the two bucket method for washing, and am really tired of constantly moving two buckets around. I found this one:

It has a divider, and holds about 2.25 gallons per side. I'm thinking of ordering one. Thoughts? Anyone have good reason not to use this?

I have a bucket like that I use for mopping floors (two bucket method, natch!). Just don't get mixed up in the middle of the wash as to which is the rinse--also, that won't have any grit guard.

Looks okay, the 2.5 gallon size might be okay for the soap, but for the rinse I prefer the 5 gallons to give you room to swish around my mitt and for the grit to settle on the bottom.

I like the bucket but $18 is a lot for a Rubbermaid bucket.

All very good points.



In my searching today, I recently ran across this guy:

It's not divided... but I can remedy that.

I have the same bucket in red. I like it.

Just a couple other random thoughts....you can get dollies for the standard 3/5 gal. buckets, so they are easier to move around...Grit Guard makes a dual dolly, that holds two 3 or 5 gal. buckets. You could also get a foam gun...then you won't need a wash bucket, only a rinse.

I have a foam gun and use two rinse buckets. It only takes a minute or two to fill up each bucket. I put one on each side of the car. That way, I only have to drag the hose and foamgun from side to side. It's made it soooo much faster and easier; no more lugging and splashing a bucket full of water around the driveway.
