How Commercial Mop Buckets & Wringers Work

The magic of these professional cleaning systems lies in their thoughtful two-part design. The bucket portion holds your cleaning solution—typically 15-36 litres depending on model—while the attached wringer squeezes excess water from your mop head with minimal effort. Side-press wringers work with a lever mechanism that presses against the mop head, while down-press versions squeeze from above. Many feature separate clean/dirty water compartments that keep soiled water away from your fresh cleaning solution. Castor wheels on the base allow for smooth movement across any commercial floor surface—simply roll, dip, wring, and mop. The whole system works together to make floor cleaning quicker, more efficient, and much easier on your back!
