Emergency Clean-up Buckets
These supplies enable people to begin the overwhelming job of cleaning up after a flood, hurricane, tornado, or other disaster here in the United States.
To assemble an Emergency Clean-up Bucket you will need:
- One five-gallon bucket with resealable lid
- Five scouring pads
- Seven sponges, assorted sizes
- One scrub brush
- Eighteen cleaning towels (reusable, like Easy Wipes®)
- One 50-78 oz. box dry laundry detergent
- One 12 oz. bottle of liquid concentrated household cleaner (like Lysol®)
- One 25 oz. bottle liquid disinfectant dish soap (like Dawn®)
- Fifty clothespins
- Clothesline, two 50 ft. or one 100 ft.
- Five dust masks
- Two pairs latex gloves (like Playtex®)
- One pair work gloves
- 24-bag roll of heavy-duty trash bags (33-45 gallon)
- One 6-14 oz. bottle of insect repellent (drops or lotion, not aerosol)
Please purchase all liquids in plastic bottles. Be sure to send only
new, unopened materials. Put all items in the plastic bucket, making
sure they are packed securely to avoid damage during shipment, and seal
lid with packing tape. Place each Bucket in a separate box.
Note: Because
of the volatility of the contents, Emergency Clean-up Kits are not shipped
internationally.
