We mould this eight-liter bucket with a wide pouring lip set into the front rim. The broad spout directs water into a narrow drain without splashing across the floor.

The piece measures approximately 30.7 by 28 cm across the top. It sits steady on tile while soaking laundry or filling mop heads.

What makes it work

  • Capacity reaches 8 L, or about 2.8 gal, inside a steady base.

How to use

Fill the basin under the bath tap for soaking hand-wash items or floor cloths. Tip the bucket forward to empty soapy water through the broad spout directly down the drain. Rinse the inner wall after use and tip it upside down to dry.

Care

Wash down the plastic with a soft sponge and neutral dish soap. Avoid abrasive scouring pads that dull the clear black finish. Store out of sustained direct sunlight.
