This mop bucket with wooden rollers is an excellent tool aid with a string mop to clean floors. For years, I relied on it and appreciated it didn't rust or corrode from the various cleaners I poured unto the water or from the many times the bucket was left out on the back porch.

Recently, I confronted what apartment dwellers face when there is no room for a washer-dryer. Besides the incredible expense, trekking back and forth to the laundromat is not always a convenience. After much research and trying to find a reasonably priced clothes wringer (anything above $100 isn't reasonable), I realized once again American manufacturers and retailers have let their consumers down.

The closest item to an old-fashioned clothes wringer, priced under $100, is a mop bucket with two wooden rollers that are somewhere around eight inches long. Applying appropriate tension to the rollers while pulling the wet clothes through is with the weight of one hand or a foot on the platform above the rollers. Imagine trying to achieve that while hunkered over a bathtub!

Funny thing! The whole planet is talking about going green, so where are the manual clothes wringers? But, wait! Long before going green became the current catch phrase, many American people have been needing manual clothes wringers reasonably priced. We need a competitive market. Not everyone can afford a big house with a laundry room, but everyone needs clean clothes. Why have the go-get-em entrepreneurs not realized how many apartment dwellers there are who need some simple, realistically-priced solutions to everyday issues. The market (and the numbers) in this country is there.

A couple of wooden rolling pins (wood choices that don't stain) stacked on a frame and attached to a geared rotating handle make laundry time simpler as well as easier and less tiring. I wish I had the talent to build a few wringers, and market them here on amazon.com. Okay, Donny Deutsch, how's that for a big idea?

This little mop bucket was exactly what I needed for a my small apt. Previously, I had hand wrung the mop (gross!) or had to use a large commercial bucket which just took up a ton of space in the utility closet. This is small, heavy duty, high quality and does the job.

The bucket is certainly the right size, however, if too much pressure is put on the wringer, it could easily break. Not as substantial as I had hoped. For small mops, it is more than effecient.

I wanted the product as shown. It was not, I feel what I got to be inferior to what I thought I was getting.
