Abstract
Cleaning equipment comprises a container, such as a bucket usable for mopping, from which cleaning liquid is taken and to which that liquid is returned after it has been used for dirt removal. The container is provided with a dirt trap comprising a dirt-receiving element of mat or pad-like form which is positioned in the container to receive dirt settling under gravity from the contained liquid. The dirt which settles out collects in, or alternatively passes through so as to be trapped below, the element or mat. The form and structure of the element is such that disturbance of the liquid in the container cannot wash the collected dirt back out into the main body of liquid from, or through, the element to any significant extent.
