Can I use this with a bucket and mop? I know it's not concentrated, but would it work? 1/4 cup this to 1 gallon water?

Traditional mop would soak it up. Bucket not necessary. Best used with mop "rubbermaid reveal like mop" with cloth pad is washable and reusable. Recommend also ratio conc to water per instructions. The rubbermaid mop I mentioned comes with bottle insert for liquids. I picked up at Sam's for less than ten bucks. Works well with this.

If you have the Bona mop with the detachable mop heads and use a spray bottle (Bona comes in a spray bottle) why would you want to lug around a cumbersome bucket with water? The Bona is strong enough so that you don't have to use a lot of it to clean your floors. In the meantime, diluting the Bona with water is diluting the cleaning power of the solution. If you just want to use the "old fashioned" way of cleaning your floors then I suggest you get a bucket of water, put some lesser cleaning product into it and forget about the Bona.

Pull the short handle away from the long handle and then press the base onto the sponge while holding it over a bucket or sink. But you will notice that the base does not completely cover the sponge --- so you definitely will get water dripping. The design of this mop is seriously flawed.

They recommend a 3/4" size water line but you can make a 1/2" size work. It just won't remove a much water. There is a 2-1 ratio for water removal. 2 gallons out for 1 gallon in.

Yes but only if you buy it buy the gallon. Once you mix the active ingredients then that batch is done. So if you buy the 5 gal bucket you will have to use all of it. Buy several small containers and mix it as you go. This is better anyway if this is your first time. The stuff is thick and takes some practice.

I think you would need very steady hands to do that. You would be able to pour liquid into a 5-gallon bucket quite easily. This is a well made pan that will last for years.

Yes it works. I have mine in my garage just to wash my hands so it is set to very low temp. I have a two and one half gallon under the kitchen sink that works ok, BUT I wish I had gone with a little bigger one there. hope that helps you.

I have one of those sponge-on-a-stick mops. I have one sponge head dedicated to washing and another to waxing. Personally, I just dribble some on the floor and spread it around, but you could get a small rectangular container shaped a bit like the mop head but a bit larger, and use it to soak and re-soak the head.

Your bucket & how to use it: I use a 5 gallon bucket (you know, the kind sold at home improvement stores with the company's name & logo on them). Given the diameter of the washer, anything smaller shall probably be too narrow. However, if you can handle to weight of the water, you could use a larger vessel. For most batches of laundry, I fill the bucket half way (2 1/2 gallons) along with my detergent, agitate a few times to develop some suds, and then add the dirty laundry. Agitate like mad for as little as 30 seconds (for lightly soiled & delicate items) to 90 seconds (heavy things like jeans). If the item(s) being cleaned are very soiled (ground in gardening dirt on the knees), I find a good minute agitate followed by a soak for a couple hours and finished with another minute agitate will lift the ground in mud.

Sorry, I don't have an answer for you with respect to this. I have an H2O steam mop.

Directions say to use 1oz per gallon so my third grade math says for 4oz use 4 gallons of water.

It will work very well. Purchase an extra pad for use between washings. I love my mop, just be sure to use it often enough to keep the spray nozzle from clogging up.

Hi, Fred, No, sorry, just one tub. That separation idea is a good one, though.This is a really, nice sturdy mop bucket. But I think you should invent your idea.

Definitely can be mixed with water. Should work fine for a regular mop. But best for a steam Hoover mop.

I use the Armstrong 330806 Armstrong Once 'N Done Cleaner Concentrate, 1/2 Gallon (64 OZ) and am pleased with the results. On the instruction you use 1 cap full per gallon, and on badly soiled floors you can use 3 cap full. On tough spots you can use the product undiluted. Hope this helps.

I have one inch (none drip) tube running from the tap around the garden (more than 100 ft) and I have connected few of these drip lines into that. It works fine. But I have not tried connecting inch to 1/4 inch. But if you have enough water pressure, this should works.

Hi, I met a Steam Mop rep in a home fair I attended. He advised that we use only DISTILLED Water. He said that our mop will last much longer is=f we use that. I am not sure what "purified water" is so just use distilled water and you will be fine. By the way, I love my mop!

There are several styles and sizes and brands of commercial mop buckets. Some of them are wider and shorter will not work as well with this wringer. Also the mop head and holder size may be a bit larger than this wringer accommodates. For best results measure first.
