Jim, put the carb cleaner in a 5 gallon plastic bucket with a lid. You can get them from restaurants, (pickle buckets) for free,
cut the tabs on the lid so it will snap on and off easily, put the carb cleaner and parts in it and close it up. No fumes.

Royce, Wait one hour and go back with the mop to clean the mess off the floor. The idea is fine but many carb cleaners will
attack polyethelene buckets. Note that even today most carb cleaner comes in steel cans.



Go visit your local Office Max or Office Depot.  They have ~4 gallon tins of popcorn (may be a Fall/Winter seasonal item).  Buy
one, eat the popcorn, use the tin for a carb cleaner tank.  We use them to store birdseed out by the bird feeder; keeps the
squirrels & mice out (so far).
