This is the bench mark for size, practicality and keeping grit at the bottom of the bucket.

I personally just use a 2 14 L black no.s from Wilkinson's. Polished Bliss 19 October 2007, 11:55 Not a fan of the grit guard then ? No, our feeling is that they simply encourage you to put your hand down into the dirtier part of the bucket. If you work in the top 2-3 inches of water only, which is easy to do with the above buckets, you're keeping the mitt well away from the stew in the bottom. Also, if you run your fingers through the mitt with each rinse, then you mimick the action of the grit guard and encourage any embedded muck to be flushed out. :) Polished Bliss 19 October 2007, 11:56 Do i take it clear ones are preffered so it can be seen when the water needs changing? Exactly! :) |
