Product Information
Full details
The Fixtures Galvanised Mop Bucket is designed for janitors, homeowners, and maintenance professionals who require a highly durable, long-lasting solution for traditional floor cleaning. Its core benefit lies in its robust, corrosion-resistant steel construction, which stands up to heavy-duty use better than plastic alternatives; however, its rigid metallic design means it is heavier than modern lightweight buckets and lacks wheels for effortless movement.

FAQs
Can I use chemical disinfectants in this bucket?
Yes, but it is recommended to rinse the bucket thoroughly with clean water after each use to prolong the life of the galvanised finish.
How much does the bucket weigh when empty?
The bucket is constructed of robust steel, making it noticeably heavier than equivalent plastic models, though specific weight can vary based on production batch.
Is the sieve removable?
No, the mop sieve is a fixed component designed for structural stability.
Does the bucket come with a mop?
No, the product is sold as a standalone bucket unit.
Can this be used on tiled floors?
Yes, but ensure you handle the bucket carefully to avoid hitting tiles, as the metal construction is rigid.
Troubleshooting
The bucket shows signs of rust
Thoroughly dry the bucket after each use and check if the protective galvanised coating has been breached by sharp tools.
Mop head won't fit through the sieve
The integrated sieve is designed for standard traditional mop heads. Ensure you are using a compatible mop type rather than oversized commercial sponge mops.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This bucket comes fully assembled and is compatible with most traditional string or yarn mop heads. To ensure the longevity of the galvanised finish, follow these care instructions:
- Drying: Always empty the bucket and wipe it dry after use to prevent hard water deposits or oxidation.
- Storage: Store the bucket in a dry environment. While galvanised, extended exposure to standing chemical cleaning agents may eventually compromise the protective coating.
- Handling: When carrying, ensure the handle is fully upright to prevent splashing.
