Help me think outside the box with regards to my mop bucket

[TheCappster]

There is nowhere to put it

except the tiny downstairs bathroom

and it is ugly

UGLY

where is your mop bucket?

[Bucharest]

On top of kitchen cupboard.

It's blue.

[SHRIIIEEEKPoolingBearBlood]

well there's a thread title I never thought I'd read
mine;s in the bathroom, used to be in the utility room but we need to get out of the door!

[TheCappster]

On top of a cupboard?

you store your mop somewhere else then obv?

[norksinmywaistband]

Mines in the shed - initially cos the DC kept playing with it, but it is actually quite handy, and stops it looking ugly.

Btw its not far from back door to shed, I would not recommend this if you have a large garden

[Bucharest]

Yes-
T'is on the side balcony (am in flat) near the jobby I use to dry clothes.

My utility balcony I like to call it.

[TheCappster]

Yes my shed is a walk away; my garden is long, but very thin.

at utility balcony

I personally hate anyone with a utility room

[Maize]

In the under the stairs cupboard along with everything else!!

[TeaOneSugar]

It's in my "utility pantry" (it's really an understairs pantry but we use it as a utility).

[ChasingSquirrels]

on top of the tumble drier (which is on top of the washing machine - so fridge freezer height) in the utility room.

The mop is on a hook on the wall in the utility room.

[cakeywakeywhizzbangmakey]

Mine is kept outside by the drain in the garden. I have neither a utility room nor an understairs cupboard so am super

[CarGirl]

I use a microfibre flat mop thingy (have 2 of the fabric bits) so don't need a bucket

Wet under tap, use, fling in washing machine to wash clean.

[Fizzylemonade]

Same as CarGirl, flat headed mop thing from Lakeland many moons ago, bought extra heads so can wing them in wash.

Use Dettol direct floor spray, squeeze onto floor, use flat head mop (can rinse it in the sink if needed or just replace head) Job done. Dries very fast.

[bonfiresnomore]

Another one same as CarGirl as I don't have room for a bucket. My problem is where to keep the hoover - it's in the porch, getting in the way.

[brockleybelle]

On top of the boiler in the boiler cupboard. I find the heat dries out the mop pretty quickly so we're not left with a mouldy smell (which happens if i leave the mop and bucket out).

[needtoknowbasis]

MN is wonderful just for fostering these kinds of discussions.

[nickelbabe]

you can get mops where the pole goes into itself so if height is your problem you can stil store it under the sink.

[tvaerialmagpiebin]

OOh yes where DO you put the hoover?
Mine is currently in the hall but is usually in my bedroom.
I am thinking about getting my dad to make an understairs cupboard. There is only a teeny space but if he cut through the plasterboard and put a dinky door on, I could shove it in there, maybe with ds' scooter too and shoes?

I don't have a mop bucket BTW, just use the kitchen sink, but house is teeny so only 2 floors to mop and usually do bathroom on hands and knees with a cloth instead.

[nickelbabe]

you get a posh hoover, is the answer.

we got a vax in champagne colour (it was sparkly) and it looked very retro/sci-fi, and therefore very pretty and cool ,so we put it in the lounge in full view.

[nickelbabe]

(can i add it was an engagement pressie, we didn't fork out that much on ahoover for ourselves)

[bibbitybobbityhat]

We keep our mop and bucket and our hoover in our cellar. This is because we are frightfully well off and live in a house with a cellar, don't you know.
