Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Mill Hotel in Aberystwyth needed to streamline its housekeeping operations and ensure full compliance with public health guidelines. Their old, mismatched equipment was inefficient and posed a cross-contamination risk.
"We switched all our cleaning supplies to a proper colour-coded system, starting with these red Jantex buckets for all guest and public washrooms. The difference is night and day. The staff find the system easy to follow, and the buckets themselves are sturdy and practical. The pour spout alone saves so much mess at the end of a shift."
Michael Evans – Head Housekeeper
The change resulted in a 20% reduction in time spent on daily washroom cleaning tasks and contributed to the hotel receiving top marks in its recent hygiene audit.
How a Simple Dirt Sump Keeps Your Floors Cleaner
Ever noticed how quickly mop water turns murky? That's because every time you rinse the mop, dirt and grit are mixed straight back in. The Jantex S222's integrated dirt sump cleverly solves this. It's essentially a raised plastic grid at the bottom of the bucket that acts as a barrier.
Think of it like a sieve in a sink. When you dunk and wring your mop, heavy particles like sand, grit, and other solids fall through the grid and become trapped underneath. This means the water your mop head absorbs is from the cleaner, upper layer. You're no longer just spreading dirty water around, but actively removing grime from the floor and trapping it for good. It’s a simple feature that dramatically improves the effectiveness of every single clean.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, give it a quick rinse to remove any dust from storage.
- Confirm the handle is securely fitted before the first use.
- Clearly designate this red bucket for its intended area (e.g., washrooms) to establish your colour-coding system.
- No assembly is required – it's ready to use straight out of the box.
Keeping It Going
- Always empty and rinse the bucket thoroughly after every use to prevent grime build-up.
- Use a brush to clean the dirt sump grid to ensure it remains effective.
- Store the bucket upside down in a designated, dry area to allow it to air out completely.
- Periodically inspect the polypropylene for any signs of cracking or stress, particularly around the handle joints.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a colour-coded cleaning system?
A: It's a method used by professionals to prevent cross-contamination. Different coloured equipment is used for different areas. Red is almost universally used for high-risk sanitary areas like toilets and washrooms.
Q: Is the plastic handle strong enough when the bucket is full?
A: Yes, the handle is made from the same tough polypropylene and is designed to comfortably support the weight of a full 14 litres of water.
Q: What kind of mop works best with this bucket?
A: It is designed to be used with traditional socket mops and Kentucky mops, as the high sieve provides a solid surface to press against for wringing.
Q: Can these buckets be stacked for storage?
A: Absolutely. Their tapered design allows them to nest inside one another, which is a great space-saver for small cleaning cupboards.
Q: How does the dirt sump actually work?
A: It's a raised grid that lets heavy dirt and grit fall to the bottom. This traps the sediment, keeping the water you're mopping with cleaner for much longer.
Q: Is this red cleaning bucket Jantex S222 suitable for a commercial kitchen?
A: No. Red is for washrooms. You should use a different colour, such as green or yellow, for kitchen and food-prep areas to maintain hygiene protocols.
Q: How do I clean the bucket itself?
A: After emptying, simply rinse with clean water. For a deeper clean, you can use a neutral detergent and a brush, paying special attention to the grid at the bottom.
Q: What does 'high mop sieve' mean?
A: It refers to the built-in wringer. It's positioned high in the bucket to allow you to press a wet mop against it effectively, squeezing out excess water before you start mopping.
