  • the surrounding outer wall 1 12 may comprise two or more outer walls 1 12, such as shown in FIG. 1. Opposite from the base 1 1 1, the surrounding outer wall 1 12 forms a perimeter 1 16.
  • the platform 120 is raised from the base 11 1 so that fluid can be held in the receptacle 110 away from the platform 120.
  • the platform 120 may be inclined relative to the base 1 1 1, to more easily allow for fluid to disperse.
  • the incline relative to the base 1 1 1 is at least 5 degrees.
  • the incline relative to the base is at least 20 degrees.
  • the incline relative to the base 1 11 is less than 60 degrees.
  • the incline relative to the base 1 11 is between 0 and 5 degrees.
  • the platform 120 comprises a working surface 121 that is the surface of the platform 120 opposite the base 1 1 1.

  • the platform 120 may be hingedly connected to the receptacle 1 10 to allow for open access into the entire receptable 1 10.
  • the access connection 130 connects the working surface 121 of the platform 120 to the receptacle
  • the access connection 130 comprises a gap 132 that is formed between the platform 120 and the surrounding outer wall 1 12.
  • the gap 132 may be between only a portion of the platform 120 and the surrounding outer wall 1 12 or may entirely surround the platform 120. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the gap 132 entirely surrounds the platform 120 to provide easy dispersment of fluid squeezed out of the mop and into the receptacle 1 10.
  • the mop bucket 100 further comprises a divider 140 that separates the receptacle 1 10 from a second receptacle 150.
  • the second receptacle 150 comprises a second base 151 and second surrounding outer wall 152.
  • the second receptacle 150 will hold clean fluid and the receptacle 1 10 will hold the squeezed out, typically dirty fluid.

  • the mop bucket 200 in FIG. 2 includes a platform 220 that is raised from the base 21 1, but connects by engagement around an entirety of the perimeter 216 of the receptacle 210.
  • the platform 220 is essentially flat, or parallel with the base 21 1. As shown the platform 220 covers the entire receptacle 210. Therefore, distinguishing the embodiment of FIG. 1 from the embodiment of FIG. 2, the access connection 230 comprises a passage 231 through the working surface 221 of the platform 220 to allow fluid to pass from the working surface 221 into the receptacle 210.
  • the disclosed mop buckets provide an easy and effective means of squeezing excess fluid from a flat mop that comprises an absorbent, planar working head for cleaning floors. Instead of including complicated squeezing mechanisms on the mop, the planar surface and access connection of the bucket allow a user to easily apply pressure to the mop to squeeze excess fluid and collect the fluid in the receptacle.
