Rubbermaid 2064907 Wavebrake 18 Qt Dirty Water Bucket Red

Product Description

The RUBBERMAID 2064907 is an 18-quart dirty water bucket designed for professional janitorial and commercial cleaning operations. Built from durable plastic with a square profile, it incorporates molded-in WaveBrake baffles that disrupt wave formation during transport and wringing, reducing splash by up to 80% compared to standard buckets. At 14 pounds, it is substantial enough for heavy-duty floor care but manageable for daily use by cleaning staff. A foot-operated drain allows hands-free water disposal, keeping the workflow efficient and reducing contact with soiled water. This bucket is the dirty-water side of a two-bucket mopping system, used to collect used mop water separately from the clean rinse solution.

This bucket is intended for use in commercial, institutional, and industrial cleaning environments including schools, healthcare facilities, hospitality, and retail spaces. It pairs with a clean-water bucket to form a standard two-bucket mopping system that prevents cross-contamination between soiled and fresh water. The square shape fits standard mop bucket carts and janitorial caddies. The red color coding helps cleaning crews quickly identify this as the dirty-water vessel, supporting color-coded sanitation protocols common in professional cleaning programs.

Installation Notes

No tools or trade licensing are required for use. Place the bucket on a stable, level surface before filling to prevent tipping.

Follow facility color-coding and sanitation protocols when deploying this bucket alongside clean-water vessels.
