Assembling Directions:
Place all liquid items in the bucket first. Place remaining items in the bucket fitting them around and between the liquid
items. Sponges, scouring pads, clothespins and trash bags can be separated in order to fit all of the items in the bucket.
Ensure the lid is closed securely.
Important Notes
- All items must be new except for the actual bucket and lid.
- All cleaning agents must be liquid and in plastic containers. No powders please.
- If you cannot find the requested size of a liquid item, use a smaller size. Including larger sizes of any item will
prevent the lid from sealing.
- UPS, FED EX and the US Postal Service will not ship buckets containing bleach. In such case, you may leave the
bleach out of the bucket.
- If all of the items on the list are not included, please put a label on the bucket indicating what has been omitted.
- Cleaning buckets are only used within the United States. They are not opened to verify the contents unless
there is indication some items have been omitted.
