Testing Categories

We used multiple testing categories during the process of reviewing various cleaning supply buckets to ensure we had a high level of accuracy with scoring each product and finding which ones were the most effective and useful. With reviewing cleaning supply buckets, the main categories we used included Design, Quality, and Efficiency.

Design – The overall design of each bucket was taken into consideration to determine if it looked appealing and modern.

Quality – Our team took a close look at the quality of each product by reviewing the materials used to construct it to see if it could hold up well to frequent use. We only want to recommend durable and sturdy products to consumers, which is why quality was a main category used during our testing process.

Efficiency – The efficiency of each cleaning supply bucket was also an important consideration to ensure it worked well and served its purpose.

Top Pick

OXO Good Grips
Angled Measuring
Mop Bucket

The OXO Good Grips Angled Measuring Mop Bucket includes built-in detergent measurement markings in the bucket and a soft, non-slip handle. It can also securely hold a mop upright while cleaning.

Price Check

Most notable upside: You won’t have to worry about using a measuring cup with the OXO Good Grips Mop Bucket due to the useful measurement markings that are located on the bottom of the bucket and are easy to read. It’s built with a soft, non-slip handle for extra grip while transporting it around. The product has a four-gallon capacity, which allows it to hold more when compared to similar items on the market. Gallon and liter markings are also present on the angled surface area, which are easy to read from above. The bucket includes a mop clip for added convenience.

Biggest downsides: This product is prone to springing leaks on the bottom after a few months of use due to cracks that can form. The bucket is also too unstable for the handle and wobbles too much as it’s transported.

Honorable Mention

Casabella
Rectangular
Storage Caddy

The Casabella Rectangular Storage Caddy is made in the USA and features a patented design nests on top of the four-gallon bucket. It’s available in multiple color shades and translucent materials.

Price Check

Most notable upside: This rectangular storage caddy is useful in storing a significant amount of cleaning supplies and measures 15.25 x 10.25 x 5.25 inches. The product is sturdy and doesn’t feel weighed down when carrying a lot of items.

Biggest downsides: Larger items don’t fit well in this caddy and can flip out, which can lead to messes and spills, and the plastic can also feel flimsy. The caddy is also too shallow for taller cleaning products to be stored inside.

Green Pick

Super Bucket with
Ergonomic Handle

The Ettore 3 Gallon Compact Super Bucket is built with an ergonomic handle and has a compact size for easy transportation and storage, and its yellow color shade makes it highly visible.

Price Check

Most notable upside: This Ettore Compact Bucket can accommodate squeegees and washers that are up to 14 inches in length. The product proves to be heavy duty and a multi-purpose wash bucket, which allows it to have more versatility. It’s designed to fit most types of window cleaning tools or household cleaning products inside.

Biggest downsides: This product won’t fit the squeegee or the window washing kit it came with. It’s also not deep enough to use for a proper cleaning setup.

Other Things to Consider

Cleaning supply buckets that are effective and useful are those that are durable and stable without falling over when filled with different supplies and tools. They should also include a sturdy handle that is ergonomic and comfortable to hold.

Store cleaning supply buckets in an area that is secure and locked to prevent children or pets from having contact with chemicals or toxins from the supplies that are stored. Avoid storing it in an area with humidity or moisture, which can cause damage to the materials.
