30 Days of Tips - Mops and Buckets

Tip #9: Instead of storing a separate mop bucket somewhere near your regularly-mopped area, use your plastic wastebaskets instead. Most of us have a plastic wastebasket in our first-floor bathroom. It needs to be cleaned anyway, so use it as your mop bucket, rinse well when done & no need to store more stuff & get more unhappy with your (lack of) space.

And on the subject of mops, always buy a mop that has a washable head, like a deck mop. You won't have to replace the head for years. Conveniently, these are also usually the cheapest.
