I don't know if anyone else does this: It always bothered me trying to soak the hose in a bucket. Its messy, water everywhere, running up my arms getting my clothes and floor wet. Not efficient (although maybe I've never had a big enough bucket) What I think I need, is one of those organizer devices for mop and broom handles, the wall mounted clamps. But, I don't have one, if I ever remember to get one, what I'll do is have it mounted in the shower. But, I digress. My lo-tech method, ever since the weather has been warm, is pour the solution into the hose, filling it to the brim, take it out to the deck and hook it onto my easel with a rubber band. No particular reason for the easel, other than that its there. I let it hang there for a while; then, when I'm ready to rinse it, I run water through it by sticking one end of the hose onto the kitchen sink faucet, then hang it over the deck rail to dry.
Another plus, as its not getting dunked into water, I can leave the insulator cover on the hose, and while its hanging outside, it gets that nice sunshine and fresh air smell to the fabric.
