Have you ever seen a blue mop bucket with a sidepress wringer? Well, now we have them. Using a mop bucket (and other cleaning equipment) other than yellow can be an effective way to signal to people its sole use. A yellow bucket can be used for anything - and usually is. If you're concerned about reducing or eliminating cross contamination between restroom and kitchens, for example, then it's time for color-specific equipment. You can see some of the recommended uses for the different colors below (*Please Note: there is no universal color standards, so feel free to use a system that works in your own facilities).
If you're thinking of getting the whole color-coded system, please take a look at our Color Coded Mop Bucket & Rags Package, which includes this blue bucket, as well as a Green, Red, & Yellow Mop Bucket, as well as a package of microfiber wipes in each of four colors: red, yellow, green, and blue.
For even more options, please feel free to take a look at the other mop buckets with wringers that we have available.
We also have a resource center, that offers tips on how to properly mop a commercial floor. This will help you, or your employees become efficient in mopping large areas. We always recommend displaying wet floor signs, when mopping, to minimize the possibility of accidents.
Recommended Color Uses:
Red - Use in areas where risk of cross-contamination and exposure to infectious materials is high. Or where body fluid, fecal material, or urine needs to be cleaned up. Yellow - Clean up in areas with less risk of infectious exposure like sinks and showers. Green - Use in areas where food is handled or prepared. Blue - Use in low risk areas such as common areas where people walk through and sit for awhile, such as airports, convention centers, or stadium seating.
Features
36 qt. bucket can be used with a mop that has a 32 oz capacity.
Flared side walls ensure the user has an easy time of hitting the bucket every time with their mop.
Wringer has a hook to hold a mop handle securely when not in use or when moving.
An upper rim slot makes storing a putty knife or scraper safe and easy.
Wring your mop from in front or behind the bucket - this reduces back strain.
