Assembly Directions
Place all liquid items in the
bucket first. Place remaining items in the bucket fitting them around and
between the liquid items. Sponges, scouring pads, clothespins and trash bags
can be separated in order to fit all of the items in the bucket. 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.
