Bit of advice please boys, most of my work internally is communal windows on stariwells, however i have started picking up some custies at these flats, do outside with wfp but now some want insides done, obviously i dont want to take a bucket into flats just wondered how bucket on a belt works. might be obvious to you but not sure how it works. When i do communals and shops, restaurants etc i use a normal bucket.  |

actually you are better taking your bucket in, the bucket on belts have a habit of catching on furniture and tipping and that isn't good, I carry the things that slip over your shoes, and take an extra scrim and place bucket over that, use minimal water on applicator and as you squeegie hold the applicator beneath to catch water as you clean

wain i never take the bucket on belt into houses i take off mainly because my customers have cream carpets say no more however do not lay the bucket so water on carpet areas it sometimes makes an indent put towel underneath or leave bucket in bathroom or toilet tiled dunk applicater in bucket fully then wring out both ends you must have no drips when wrang out tip applicator upside down both ways and check twist wrist couple of times to check for drips helps if you have a good applicator not a thin one once theres no drips walk in to the room maybe first couple of times wrap another towel round just to be shure and then remove towel an clean as normal but catch drips with applicator and work slowly do yor own windows first
dont use bucket on a belt inside drips every ware this works for me good luck

Try a sports water bottle rather than a bucket or bucket on belt - you can apply a small amount of solution to your applicator as needed then. Also, as mentioned, shoe cover slips are essential!

squeezie bottle as mentioned above - my bucket on a belt is only used to hold my tool.

I do quite a few internal windows and have always taken my bucket inside with a towel that i place the bucket on in every room. I have only a will only ever use my bucket on a belt to hold my tools ( i'm sure they were not really designed to be filled with water, i think the idea was to catch the dripping water from you applicator/squeege)?
If a customer asks me to do the insides i always ask them to remove the items from the window sils before i get to the windows, this way they can not blame you for anything broken. I also lay a scrim cloth on the window sil to catch any drips along with using the applicator under my squeege to catch most first.
