Assembling Directions

Ensure the lid is closed securely.
Important Notes
‐
All items must be new except for the actual bucket and lid.
‐
All cleaning agents must be liquid and in plastic containers. No powders please.
‐
If you cannot find the requested size of a liquid item, use a smaller size. Including larger sizes of any item will prevent the lid from sealing.
‐
If all of the items on the list are not included, please put a label on the bucket indicating what has been omitted.
‐
Cleaning buckets are only used within the United States. They are not opened to verify the contents unless there is indication some items have been omitted.
