Do you use an old fashioned mop and mop bucket?

[hiddenhome]

The sort of stringy type with a mop bucket where you have to squeeze and twist?

I have the mop, but not the bucket yet. I like the galvanised ones, but some of the reviews on Amazon say they can leak? Any recommendations for one?

Tesco do one for about £3. Plastic but does the job!

Yep. Supermarket knock-off Vileda here, plastic bucket. Used daily after sweeping, especially now it is beach season, grrrr.

Do the plastic buckets fall over or are they heavy enough when there's water in?

The Vileda's pails work fine. We use the two bucket method. Bucket one is boiling hot water with cleaning solution, bucket two is cold rinse water. It gets the floor really clean, and means you don't dip a dirty mop into bucket one.

I have a galvanised one after breaking dozens of plastic ones.
You cant put enough pressure in the 'squeeze' to dry the mop in a plastic bucket and you end up sloshing dirty water all over the place. Definitely get a galvanised one you can squeeze your mop practically dry and they don't break.
I love mine and would never go back to the plastic ones.
I bought mine at an independent hardware store for £6.99. Sounds expensive but I was buying a new plastic bucket every month from Tesco's at £2.99+

I have a vileda and a vileda bucket and it works fine. Never had a problem in my small kitchen but if I had bigger kitchen or more floors to mop I may invest in something else
