How to separate two plastic buckets stuck together
There’s nothing more annoying than when two plastic buckets get stuck together. But how do you go about separating the two? Try the following method:
Turn the buckets upside down so the open end is on the floor.
Stand on the handle closest to the ground and keep your footing secure.
Grab the rim of the top bucket and pull upwards.
Your buckets should become loose and free.
Be careful not to jar your back when pulling the buckets. If your bucket doesn’t have a handle for you to keep in place, you can try the hot water method.
How to separate two plastic buckets stuck together with no handles
Run the outer bucket under hot water for 30 seconds to a minute.
Rotate the buckets to ensure the hot water covers the entire surface.
Holding the bottom bucket in position, pull on the upper rim or wiggle to force some movement between the buckets.
Set the bucket free.
