SYR Ladybug Professional Mop Bucket – 14L Mobile Cleaning System
The SYR Ladybug Mop Bucket is a staple in the professional cleaning industry, known for its rugged durability and innovative design. Manufactured by Scot Young Research (SYR), this 14-litre bucket is crafted from high-impact, heavy-duty plastic to withstand the demands of daily commercial use. Unlike standard buckets, the Ladybug features a built-in dirt sump and grid; this allows heavy soil to settle at the bottom of the bucket, preventing it from being redistributed onto the floor during mopping.
Equipped with 2-inch plastic castors, the Ladybug provides effortless mobility across large floor areas, reducing the physical strain on cleaning staff. It is specifically designed for use with socket mops and is available in four distinct colours to support colour-coded hygiene systems, helping to prevent cross-contamination between different areas such as washrooms, kitchens, and general office spaces.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the dirt sump?
The sump and grid allow dirt and grit to fall to the bottom of the bucket. This keeps the water at the top cleaner for longer, so you aren’t spreading dirty water back onto the floor.
Can I use this with a Kentucky mop?
The Ladybug is specifically designed for socket mops. For larger Kentucky mops, we recommend the SYR Interchange or Buffalo bucket ranges.
Are the castors replaceable?
Yes, the 2″ plastic castors are designed for durability but can be replaced if they become worn over years of use.
