## Description

USE: Keeps dirty water separate from clean, allowing you to achieve the best clean BENEFITS: Preserves the quality of cleaning solution when utilizing cleaning chemicals. Reduces water and chemical usage

Review: Works great! But I didn't consider.... - Great product, fits my WaveBreak perfectly. Perhaps it's needed for a reason I can't consider right now, but what I failed to consider was it really doesn't keep the dirty and clean water separate. It keeps your reservoir and wringed-out water separate perfectly. But unless you aren't going to re-saturate your mop in the reservoir, your reservoir water will get dirty too. After a thorough mopping, the dirty water in the bucket and the water in the bucket are equally dirty. Because, of course, you DIP THE DIRTY MOP BACK IN THE RESERVOIR, then wring it out into the red bucket. (Duh me) Hope all that makes sense. I'm still going to use it cuz I paid for it and it doesn't make the water any dirtier, but within the first couple wrings, the main mop water is dirty too. Hope all that makes sense. It did in my head.
Review: Excelente adición para la cubeta Rubbermaid Wavebreak - Esta cubeta es la encargada de separar el agua sucia de la limpia en los sistemas de cubeta Rubbermaid Wavebreak Commercial. Su calidad es la que se puede esperar de los artículos Rubbermaid comerciales y embona perfectamente en mi Rubbermaid Commercial 1863898 Executive Series WaveBrake Bucket con exprimidor incorporado. Lo tuve que comprar separadamente ya que la descripción del artículo en desertcart México está equivocada y no venía incluido como se anunciaba, por lo que la compañía en México me reembolsó el valor de la mayor parte del costo de la cubeta más el envío. El precio del envío desde Estados Unidos me parece excesivo, que es más caro que la cubeta en sí. No obstante desertcart México se responsabilizó por la omisión. Sería excelente que desertcart México tuviera un "stock" de estos artículos en el país.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which rubbermaid bucket system does 9c74red fit**
A: It goes with Rubbermaid Commercial Products 35 qt. WaveBrake Yellow Side Press Combo Mop Bucket and Wringer System  Model # FG 7580-88 YEL

**Q: The 26 quart bucket did have a dirty water bucket when I bought it years ago. Very frustrating that you cannot get a replacement bucket. Why?**
A: They changed the from so you have to buy the whole thing again they want our money

**Q: I dip my mop, and wring it, so as to not be sopping wet. So, how does this not get the clean part dirty?**
A: The basic fact is that this "dirty water bucket" does not keep the clean water section clean. Each time that you mop the floor, you dip the dirty mop into the clean water section and make it dirty. Then, you wring the mop out over the dirty water bucket, leaving more dirty water. Eventually, the clean water section will be nearly empty because you wrung out the water into the dirty water bucket.

So, if you empty the dirty water bucket at that point and dump and refill the "clean water" section, it could be argued that you have fresh water more often than you would with the single bucket option. It would also consume more floor cleaning chemicals.

**Q: Does this fit and is it indicated to be used with the rubbermaid commercial 1863899 executive series wavebrake down-press mop bucket?**
A: Thank you for choosing Rubbermaid Commercial Products. Our goal is to provide the highest quality service. Yes this is correct. The product will fit any 35 or 44 wavebrake bucket.
