Abstract:

A mop bucket that saves, water, cleaning liquid, time and effort includes a bottom, an outer wall inclined to facilitate stacking, and either a T-wall defining three compartments not in communication with each other or an X-wall defining four such compartments. The interior walls have an inverted “V”-shaped cross-section meeting at a rounded edge, the first leg and the second leg rotationally related by a highly acute angle to facilitate stacking. The method involves providing the bucket, placing cleaning liquid into the first clean compartment and fresh water into the one or two rinse compartment, dipping the mop in the cleaning liquid, washing the floor with the mop, and the repeated steps of rinsing the mop in the rinse compartments, draining the mop so that dirty water drains into the drain compartment, dipping the mop in the cleaning liquid, washing the floor with the mop.
