How can i clean my bike? Advice needed pls.
Ive just moved from Stockport to New Mills so have now got the peaks right on my door step. The problem is i now live in a first floor appartment so im struggling for space and the facilities to clean my bike. Space is not too much of an issue as i can use the path or my parking space to place my workstand but im struggling to decide what i can use to clean my bike with.
I used to use a hose pipe when i was at my parents house with muc off bike cleaner and few different brushes and also a chain bath. I could possibly attach a hose pipe to my taps in the kitchen and hang it down but i dont think my neighbors below would appreciate a hose hanging in front of their window.
Could anyone recommend any other cleaning devices or methods i could use that would be enough to clean away all the dirt and grit that the peaks throw at you.
The only 2 ideas ive got are using one of those pump action weed killer spray things and im sure i read in a previous WMB issue something about a water bag that hangs on your workstand and has a hose attached to it.
Help would be much appreciated.

The weed spray bottles are ideal. Or just coat on muc off and leave in the rain for 30 mins ;-)

Can't believe I hadn't thought of using one of those. It makes so much more sense than the watering can I've been using.
Thanks for the tip Sonic0
