Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

A busy veterinary practice in Cardiff needed to upgrade their cleaning equipment to ensure the highest standards of hygiene between clinical and waiting areas. They chose the Jantex colour-coded system to prevent any risk of cross-contamination.

"We switched from basic grey buckets to these yellow Jantex ones for our clinical zones. The difference is night and day. The staff find the system easy to follow, and the dirt trap at the bottom genuinely keeps the water cleaner. It’s a small change that has made a big impact on our hygiene protocols."

Robert Finch – Practice Manager

The new system has eliminated any ambiguity in cleaning routines, helping the practice maintain its excellent clinical standards.

How a Simple Dirt Sump Keeps Your Water Cleaner

Ever notice how quickly mop water turns into a grey, gritty soup? The 'dirt sump' is a clever feature designed to solve exactly that. It’s a small reservoir at the very bottom of the bucket, sitting underneath a plastic grid. When you dunk and wring your mop, the heavier particles of dirt, sand, and grit fall through the grid and get trapped in this sump, away from the main body of water.

Think of it like the crumb tray in a toaster. It catches all the bits so they don't burn or get stuck to your next slice of toast. In the same way, the dirt sump traps grime, preventing you from picking it back up with your mop and spreading it across the floor. This means your water and cleaning solution stay effective for longer, giving you a much better, more hygienic finish with every wipe.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the dirt sump grid is seated correctly at the bottom of the bucket before first use.
  • If the handle is detached for shipping, click it securely into place.
  • Assign the yellow colour to a specific cleaning area (e.g., washrooms, clinical areas) as per your COSHH or hygiene plan.
  • Label the bucket if necessary to avoid any confusion among staff members.

Keeping It Going

  • Always empty, rinse, and clean the bucket thoroughly after every single use to prevent grime and bacteria build-up.
  • Periodically lift out the grid and give the dirt sump a proper clean to remove all trapped debris.
  • Store the bucket upside down in a clean, dry area to allow it to air out completely.
  • Regularly check the plastic body and handle for any signs of cracks or stress.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Mop Bucket

Not sure what fits your business best? Here are a few key things to think about when choosing your cleaning equipment.

Capacity vs. Weight

A larger capacity means fewer trips to the sink, which is great for efficiency. But remember, water is heavy! A 15-20 litre bucket is a fantastic all-rounder for most businesses, balancing capacity with portability.

The Power of Colour

Colour-coding isn't just for show; it’s a cornerstone of professional hygiene, recommended by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Assigning colours (e.g., yellow for clinical/washroom, red for sanitary, blue for general) prevents dangerous cross-contamination.

Material Matters

Commercial environments are tough. Look for buckets made from robust, chemical-resistant materials like polypropylene. They are designed to withstand daily use and won't degrade when used with strong cleaning agents.

An Effective Wringer

The goal is a clean floor, not a wet one. A good, sturdy wringer or sieve is essential for squeezing out the maximum amount of water. This leads to faster drying times, which means safer floors with less slip risk.

Check the Dimensions

It’s a simple point, but an important one. Will the bucket fit in your janitorial cupboard or under the designated sink? Check the height and width to make sure it slots neatly into your storage space.
