If you're like me, and you feel that having a clean home is a form of self-love language, then you also know the value of good cleaning tools. A sticky, grimy floor can be the difference between feeling uncomfortable in your own space or relaxing in peace. A good mop bucket is a must-have essential.
Now, there are a lot of creative ways to clean the floor. The most reliable one? Giving it a good scrub down. However, lugging a mop and bucket around the house can result in a splashy mess, which is why these best-sellers are so good to have around the house.

There's a clean water and dirty water bucket to avoid cross-contamination. Adding cleaning solution is seriously the easiest thing ever: the soap dispenser spout shoots right into the water pail from a cup holder above. The only thing this mop is missing is a robot that'll clean your floors for you.
Storage of this floor cleaner is a breeze. The two-part wringer/bucket system collapses to stack within itself. I should've added this to my shopping cart like, yesterday.
3. Rubbermaid Commercial Products
Rubbermaid is famous for making those janitorial yellow mop buckets, but it doesn't take Will Hunting smarts to know they're good for more than just industrial jobs. With reliable wheels, this cleaning mop can scoot anywhere in the house.
The WaveBrake wall is a splash guard mop bucket system that keeps you from spilling any dirty water when you're on the move. It's heavy-duty, but that quality leads to cleaner floors, fast.

If there was a techy version of the mop caddy, the oshang is it. The down press wringer is a self-cleaning mechanism that squeegees out all of the dirt, getting you back to spring scrubbing quicker.
The microfiber heads are non-marking and can be used on a variety of floor types, from hardwood to laminates. Reviewer Libby S. puts it best:
This mop is fabulous!!! I have 5 dogs and a fenced in back yard. I used to have one of those spin mops. No thanks after using the Oshang flat mop. It's so easy to use. So easy to change the pads. No spinning I LOVE IT. It does a great job. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.
5. Tsmine Spin Mop & Bucket Floor Cleaning System
The Tsmine has a lot of similar aspects to other mop buckets on this list: a built-in soap dispenser, a 360° mop head, and an easy-drain plug. Here is where it's different.
The strainer is stainless steel, meaning it will stay sanitary for longer. Plus, getting the gunky mess out of your mop is easy thanks to the quick wring mechanism. It's as simple as applying pressure down on the handle of your mop and then letting the system do its own work.
There are a lot of quality cleaning tools out there, but these buckets take the cake when it comes to convenience, quality, and budget. Clean up the kitchen, clean the ceiling, clean all the spaces you never wanted to touch with one of these amazing mop buckets.
