I am trying to collect items that do not need electricity. I am trying to find a cheap/reseasonable place online to buy wicks. I live in a very remote/rural area and do not have retail access. Also looking for the best mop bucket with wringer for the price. Any suggestions?

Lehman's will have the wicks and many other products you will like. They are out of Kidron, Ohio but they have internet shopping and a printed mail order catalog you can order as well as the store in Kidron. I love them for all things from a simpler time.

I ended up buying a roll of wick on eBay. It was cheaper than Walmart, so I ordered some.

For the wringer bucket, there's this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Galvanized-Metal-12-quart-Wringer-Pail-Wash-Mop-Bucket-Pan-/160925189993?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2577e38769

You could also check janitorial suppliers. There are a wide range of products available, many for about $50 or less.
