Abstract
A container (10) with removable end caps (12, 14) has an internal barrier (30) with holes (32) therethrough. In use, a cleaning or other fluid is poured into lower space (38) and an article to be cleaned or otherwise treated is placed into upper space (36). End cap (12) is then secured and the container is inverted so that the article is in the liquid. To remove the article, which may be a cloth or a sponge, the container (10) is restored to its original disposition, end cap (12) is removed and the article is squeezed by the user against the barrier (30) to remove excess liquid.
