Been looking for a decent bucket WITH LID. Anyone found a decent one that dosen't cost the earth! I'm tired of rescueing spiders every time I wash the motor!

Get a decent wahsmitt mate - rinse after use then hang over a radiator and voila, problem disappears. OR hang some washing line up in your garage and hang them over that OR get a hook and hang bucket from it

If it is, there is that one at GritGuard, which is less (but only because it comes without the dolly). There are tons of buckets and different kinds of lids at www.usplastics.com, but I don't know if any of these places, other than the Autopia store, ships to the UK.

Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: NE Scotland Posts: 39 | I was in B & Q the other day buying some painting stuff for the house when I noticed a Vileda Ultramax bucket for sale (can't remember the price). It had a snap-on section in it (meant for squeeging the vileda mop) which I thought would do for holding my wheel brushes and hanging the wash mitt. It works OK for me. | |
