Default Which Bucket??

Hi all,

Which you would say is the best bucket to use when washing the Scooby? Is round, square or rectangle better??

What about colour, has to be cool!! a yellow one would not look right....

Bucket and a grit gard.

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

Agreed - looks ace, but £25. I'd feel bad charging that for a bucket!

We still use the clear 12 L buckets from B&Q that cost 3.95 each - great value, good performance, and sturdy. See here...

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.
