Who would know that you could love a mop bucket?! Well I find that I use this bucket for everything now. It really is my go to bucket because I know it isn't going to break. It is super thick and sturdy, unlike the ones you're used to seeing in the supermarket. To be honest, I don't use it for mopping, but I never planned to. I do think if you want to use it as an actual mop bucket you might be disappointed because unless you are using a rag mop or something of the sorts, you really won't be able to get your mop inside this thing, but it makes the best all purpose cleaning bucket you can find. I love it!
