Fortunately there are products available to address the problems associated with dirty mop water. One of the most popular is the dual-chamber or dual-cavity bucket. These buckets consist of two chambers or compartments; one for the clean solution and the other for the dirty water after the floor has been mopped. A removable wringer attaches to the chamber used for dirty water.鈥淭he clean water compartment transfers water into the soiled water compartment as you use it,鈥� says Gosson. 鈥淎s you pass the mop through the wringer and evacuate the water, you鈥檙e actually doing a transfer from one chamber to the next.鈥漈he advantages of using dual-chamber buckets are more sanitary, hygienic floors, as well as environmental benefits and cost savings.听鈥淵ou never mop a dirty floor with dirty water,鈥� says Gosson, 鈥渁nd you鈥檙e looking at a significant savings in water and chemical usage. There鈥檚 less water used because you鈥檙e not discharging soiled water as frequently.鈥漈he average single-chamber bucket holds a little under five gallons of water, which is good for cleaning roughly 1,000 square feet. However, a comparable five-gallon, dual-chamber bucket can clean 3,000 square feet. That鈥檚 approximately a 66 percent reduction in water and chemical consumption, says Gosson.
