Showerthought: I realized my 'fresh' flower buckets were actually breeding bacteria after a client in Phoenix pointed out a weird slime on her stems.

I was using the same bleach solution for a month, thinking a quick rinse was enough, but a test strip showed the pH was totally off and basically useless. Has anyone else found a better way to keep buckets actually clean without going through a gallon of bleach a week?

That Phoenix heat probably accelerates everything. It's a good reminder that our maintenance routines often fail silently until something breaks. I've started marking my cleaning solution bottles with the date I mixed them.

Fail silently" sounds a bit dramatic for some cleaning solution.

What's the test strip brand you used?
