mop bucket

[izod10]

Basically after a "traditional" mop bucket as used in the west.  Not a spin,or flat head mop bucket,but one where mop head inserted and manually squeezed,tried forever,even lazada  No joy

[giddyup]

Never seen one here.

[VocalNeal]

Used everyday by hotel/mall/BTS cleaners. So need to look where commercial cleaners buy their supplies.

I have seen one someplace, but memory fails me. Have you tried the big place behind Central Marina, BL Commerce...

Hard to come out of there without buying something you don't need!

[vogie]

This lot sell them, a little expensive but plastic for about 350baht.

Closest I can find to the "squeezer" (roller) type bucket:

Due to the design, you need to be sure you have one foot on the lip at the front and then step on the lever at the back or the whole thing will tip over.

Cheaper on AliExpress though - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33029615310.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.4c427ce4v4whVC&algo_pvid=b92d875b-3b78-4f25-89a1-ef8274d36842&algo_expid=b92d875b-3b78-4f25-89a1-ef8274d36842-21&btsid=0be3743b15930584395698702ece32&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_


Lots of the "compression" (squeeze) buckets, where a flat, perforated panel is compressed against another panel, with the mop head in between. Seems to be the preferred style over here.

The ideal lady

should have her own broom, mop

and bucket, scrubbing brush, iron,

and washboard.

No. The tradition mop bucket the OP is after has two rollers that are squeezed together with a foot lever.

Good Luck in your new carrier.????

Don't think so.... traditional just has a cone shaped  bit with holes to push the head of the mop into. I guess I am older.....

In Australia the one I pictured has been in use for probably the better part of 100 years, so that's pretty traditional to me, and pretty sure that's what the OP is looking for.

Australia is new nor West, I used to use the type I described to clean up after I had been up the chimneys!

The "roller" style like giddyup showed is like the ones I grew up with in Canada in the late 70s, early 80s. 
Ours were usually larger though (commercial size with wheels or on a purpose built cart). 

Mopped a lot of floors in the barracks using those kinds of buckets. 

The other kind shown, with an inverted cone ? Never saw one of those in my life until looking at this thread.

Well, I'm 78, not sure how old you have to be to remember old mop buckets.

Got one from Homepro a few years ago.  Plastic bucket, expensive, mechanism broke, binned.  The ones with no moving parts are better, less to go wrong.  Naturally, this applies to modern rubbish, not the old style, quality builds.

[Kerryd]

Different parts of the world have different ideas (and methods) on doing things. 

Like I never see the Thai style brooms back home and never see the "home style" corn or whisk brooms over here.

Just like the mops. Back home all I ever recall seeing are the "normal" mops made up of hundreds of coarse "strings". Over here I see them made with what looks like old rags or strips of cloth.

Back home I never see the "mortar and pestle" like they used here for making papaya salad. 
Over here I couldn't find an "egg beater" to save my life. I actually had to buy one when I was back in Canada and bring it back with me. 

I am somewhat surprised that the Aussies don't have some weird name for a mop bucket though, like a "sheila dandy" or something. ????

The OP said

which seems to eliminate the type you describe.

My Mrs got one of the spinning type which seemed to last quite well.... seemed a faff to me.

Kinnel. Over 30 quid for a mop bucket. But it's the type I want. Sold by RadioSpares!

Neighbour across the street got one of those. 3 months later she was asking me if I could fix it. A metal pin inside had rusted out (already !) and a gear had popped off. I was able to find a suitable replacement pin and get it working again. (They aren't really meant to be repaired though, more like a "use it 'till it breaks and then buy a new one" quality.)

I actually use a plastic bucket with a detachable plastic cone where you insert the mophead and squeeze it manually. 

I didn't think that was what the OP was looking for though as they are pretty common here (as in probably in every Big C/Tesco/Makro).
(Now that I think about it, it does resemble that old stainless steel bucket with the built in inverted cone.)

I leave these kind of details to my Thai GF. Seriously? A thread on mop buckets? What's next, vacuum cleaners or Valium?

I suppose since the bars closed in Pattaya, topic desperation has set in.

No, it doesn't. It's designed to wring a normal mop like this.

He (OP) clearly said 'not the flat type mop'  and then you show a picture of the flat type mop! You are simply looking to argue. Suit yourself.

Just upgraded my old Dyson V8 to a v10 fluffy, works a treat and not sure why I struggled with the old one for so long.
