Benefits of technology

[0029]The present invention improves these areas of concern by providing a solution that includes a much more compact arrangement of the equipment typically used in cleaning service operations. The key piece of equipment needed in such operations is a wash bucket and the bucket used in the present invention is a dual bucket having two cavities, one for soapy water for mopping, for instance, and one for receiving dirty water which is wrung out of a cleaning implement such as a floor mop. The bucket is large enough to hold the cleaning implement tool heads, i.e., mop head, squeegee head, and so on, and the common handle used with each head in turn is collapsible and mounted on the side of the bucket. Since handles are typically long, unwieldy and cumbersome to move from one place to the next, this solution alone affords significant advantages over the prior art. Next, the bucket has retractable wheels on it. This allows the bucket to be stable when placed in a vehicle, while mobile when used in cleaning operations. A service tray is formed and contour

Abstract

A compact cleaning equipment includes a dual cavity bucket and a tray nested within the bucket for carrying cleaning agents and supplies. The bucket is of sufficient size to hold the tools that are needed for a wide range of cleaning tasks and each is adapted for non-rotational and manual release mounting onto a telescoping handle that is storable on the side of the bucket when not in use. A net wringer is mountable over the bucket for rotational squeeze wringing of a mop.
