 a plurality of perimeter members; and    a plurality of lateral support members coupling said perimeter members.    
   
   
       3 . The supplemental shelf of  claim 2 , wherein said plurality of perimeter members and said plurality of lateral support members form an enclosure, said enclosure being configured to securely restrain a plurality of cleaning solution containers.  
   
   
       4 . The supplemental shelf of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of front mounting members separated by a distance greater than a length of a component of a water management system to which said front mounting members are to be coupled.  
   
   
       5 . The supplemental shelf of  claim 1 , further comprising a friction sleeve coupled to at least one of said front mounting members.  
   
   
       6 . The supplemental shelf of  claim 1 , further comprising a friction sleeve coupled to at least one of said rear mounting members.  
   
   
       7 . The supplemental shelf of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a plurality of rear mounting members disposed along a rear mounting line; and    a plurality of front mounting members disposed along a front mounting line;    wherein said rear mounting line and said front mounting line are separated by a distance less than a width of a component of a water management system to which said front mounting members and said rear mounting members are to be coupled.    
   
   
       8 . The supplemental shelf of  claim 1 , wherein said perimeter member, said front mounting member, and said rear mounting member are made of steel.  
   
   
       9 . The supplemental shelf of  claim 1 , wherein said perimeter member, said front mounting member, and said rear mounting member are made of one of a metal, a plastic, or a composite.  
   
   
       10 . The supplemental shelf of  claim 1 , wherein said supplemental shelf is configured to securely restrain more than 4 cleaning solution containers.  
   
   
       11 . A supplemental shelf for a vehicle mounted cleaning system, comprising: 
 a plurality of spaced apart perimeter members configured to contain a plurality of containers;    a plurality of lateral members coupling said spaced apart perimeter members;    a plurality of spaced apart front mounting members coupled to a front portion of at least one of said perimeter members; and    a plurality of spaced apart rear mounting members coupled to a rear portion of at least one of said perimeter members and being spaced apart from said from front mounting members.    
   
   
       12 . The supplemental shelf of  claim 11 , wherein said perimeter members include two perimeter members.  
   
   
       13 . The supplemental shelf of  claim 11 , wherein said front mounting members and said rear mounting members each include two members.  
   
   
       14 . The supplemental shelf of  claim 11 , wherein said perimeter members, said front mounting members, and said rear mounting members are made of steel.  
   
   
       15 . The supplemental shelf of  claim 11 , wherein said perimeter members, said front mounting members, and said rear mounting members are made of plastic.  
   
   
       16 . The supplemental shelf of  claim 11 , wherein said supplemental shelf is configured to securely restrain more than 4 cleaning solution containers.  
   
   
       17 . A supplemental shelf for vehicle-mounted cleaning systems, comprising: 
 at least one perimeter member configured to securely restrain a plurality of cleaning solution containers;    at least one front mounting member configured to at least partially secured said supplemental shelf to a horizontal member of a water management system in a first direction; and    at least one rear mounting member configured to secure said supplemental shelf to said horizontal member of a water management system in a second direction orthogonal to said first direction;    wherein a distance between said front mounting member and said rear mounting member in said first direction is less than a width of said horizontal member of said water management system.    
   
   
       18 . The supplemental shelf for vehicle-mounted cleaning systems of  claim 17 , further comprising: 
 a plurality of perimeter members; and    a plurality of lateral support members coupling said perimeter members.    
   
   
       19 . The supplemental shelf for vehicle-mounted cleaning systems of  claim 17 , further comprising a friction sleeve coupled to at least one of said front mounting members and at least one of said rear mounting members.  
   
   
       20 . The supplemental shelf of  claim 17 , further comprising: 
 a plurality of rear mounting members disposed along a rear mounting line; and    a plurality of front mounting members disposed along a front mounting line;    wherein said rear mounting line and said front mounting line are separated by a distance less than a width of a component of a water management system to which said front mounting members and said rear mounting members are to be coupled.    
   
   
       21 . The supplemental shelf of  claim 17 , wherein said perimeter member, said front mounting member, and said rear mounting member are made of one of steel, plastic, or comoposite.
