The Oates Contractor wringer bucket is a 15-litre plastic mop bucket with a built-in wringer, a non-slip foot pedal and castors. It is a simple, hygienic set-up for wet mopping hard floors, and on restoration and decontamination jobs it gives the crew a bucket for solution or rinse water that is easy to clean and keep separate from other work.
Product Overview
The Oates contractor wringer bucket is constructed with highly durable plastic, which ensures it is lightweight and hygienic for professional cleaning.
The non-slip foot pedal and castors allow it to be manoeuvred with ease. The wringer bucket is ergonomic with an easy-action wringing system and displays a wet floor warning sign on its side for safety.

Where It Is Used
- Wet mopping hard floors — kitchens, entries, bathrooms and tiled areas — alongside carpet and upholstery work.
- Holding solution or rinse water for wiping and mopping on restoration jobs.
- Decontamination work. CCW lists this bucket with its meth decontamination cleaning equipment. Follow the procedure set for the job: if it calls for separate wash and rinse water, use a separate bucket for each and label them so they are not swapped.
Colour Coding
Oates make the Contractor wringer bucket in a range of colours (colour-coded versions carry a suffix on the model number, for example IW-005R red, IW-005B blue and IW-005Y yellow, as listed by Oates distributors) so that buckets can be kept to designated areas. The colour of CCW's stock is not stated on this listing. If you run a colour-coded system, ask us which colour we can supply before you order.

Using and Caring for the Bucket
- Fill with clean water and the correct dilution of your floor product. Leave room to dip the mop without slopping solution over the rim.
- Wring the mop in the wringer before it goes on the floor. A wetter mop does not clean better; it just leaves more water to dry and more slip risk.
- Stand a wet floor sign at the work area as well — the warning on the bucket side is not a substitute for proper signage.
- Change the water as soon as it looks dirty. Mopping with dirty water spreads soil back across the floor.
- After each job, empty the bucket, rinse the bucket and wringer, and let them air dry before storage. Do not store it with solution in it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What colour is it?
The colour of CCW's stock is not stated on this listing. Oates make the Contractor bucket in several colours; ask us before ordering if the colour matters for your site.
Does it come with a mop?
No mop is listed as included. The listing covers the bucket with its wringer.
Can I get a replacement wringer part?
Oates list replacement wringer parts for the IW-005 series. CCW does not list them online — ask us and we will check availability.
Why is it listed with meth decontamination equipment?
Decontamination work involves a lot of wet wiping and mopping, and a dedicated, easily cleaned bucket helps keep wash and rinse water separate. The bucket itself carries no decontamination rating — the procedure you follow is what matters.
