Glob Mops Mop Bucket – Iso Dunk Cleaner Kit

The Glob Mops Mop Bucket is a two-part ISO dunk station: an outer tub that holds isopropyl alcohol and a slotted inner basket with a handle, so you lower dirty bangers and inserts in and lift them out without putting your fingers in the alcohol. Round at $11.99 or Square at $12.99, both at Glob Mops' own prices, from Angies Boutique, 838 N Broadway, Los Angeles.

⚡ At-a-Glance Decision Summary

• What it is: A lidded ISO soaking tub with a removable, slotted lift-out basket.
• Why choose it: The basket handle is the whole point — no fishing hot quartz out of alcohol with your fingers.
• Standout detail: Leak-proof and lidded, so the ISO stays in the tub between sessions instead of evaporating.
• Confidence signal: Priced at Glob Mops' own $11.99, sold by a Downtown Los Angeles shop trading since 1990.

🧠 Our Verdict

Buy this if you dab daily and currently soak in a shot glass or a jam jar. It is a $12 fix for a genuinely annoying problem, and the lid means one fill of ISO lasts across sessions rather than evaporating overnight.

Quick Summary

Cleaning a banger with isopropyl means soaking it, and soaking it in an open container means reaching into alcohol to get it back out. The Mop Bucket splits that into two parts: the outer tub holds the ISO, the inner basket holds the quartz. Drop the basket in to soak, lift the basket out to drain, and the alcohol stays where it belongs. Both shapes seal, so the same fill keeps working for weeks. Round $11.99, Square $12.99.

Glob Mops Mop Bucket – Leak-Proof ISO Dunk Station

Glob Mops describe the round bucket in one line: leak proof, handle on the basket so you are not getting ISO on your fingers, perfect for on the go. That is an accurate description of what it does. The slots in the basket let alcohol flood in around the part and then drain straight back out when you lift, which is the difference between a dunk station and a cup.

The sealed lid matters more than it sounds. Isopropyl evaporates fast in an open container, so an uncovered soaking cup needs topping up constantly and stinks out the room while it does. A closed tub holds one fill through repeated sessions. See the rest of the brand in Glob Mops, and the wider range in Cleaning Supplies.

Summary: A sealed ISO tub with a lift-out basket, so soaking quartz stops being a hands-in-alcohol job.

⭐ Who This Is For / Not For

Ideal For:

• Daily dabbers cleaning bangers, inserts, carb caps and terp pearls on a routine.
• Anyone currently soaking in an open jar and topping up evaporated alcohol every few days.
• People who want their dab station to stay tidy rather than accumulating sticky cups.
• Travel — the round bucket seals, so it goes in a bag with ISO still in it.

Not Recommended For:

• Cleaning bongs or anything larger than a banger. This is a small-parts station — use a gallon of Bong Aid and the piece itself for that.
• Anyone wanting an ultrasonic cleaner. This is a manual soak, not powered.
• Buyers expecting alcohol in the box. ISO is not included and is sold separately.
• Anyone buying it primarily for the swabs — see the limitation below.

Summary: Right for routine small-parts soaking, wrong for whole bongs or anyone expecting a powered cleaner.

⚠️ Known Limitations

• Swab contents are not guaranteed. Some retailers list these buckets as arriving pre-stocked with assorted Glob Mops swab packs. Glob Mops' own product page does not state that, and packing has varied between production runs. Buy the bucket for the bucket, and pick up Glob Mops swabs separately if you need them. Ask us before ordering if the swabs are the deciding factor.
• Glob Mops publish no dimensions. Retailer listings quote conflicting inner and outer measurements, so we quote none. If you run an oversized banger, measure it and ask us before ordering.
• ISO is flammable. Keep the bucket away from torches, open flame and heat while alcohol is in it.
• Capacity is the real limit. Bangers, inserts, caps and pearls fit. Downstems and bowls mostly do not.
• Five of each shape in stock. Round and Square are counted separately.

Summary: Small-parts capacity, no published dimensions, and no promise about included swabs.

⚙️ Features & Benefits

• Slotted lift-out basket: Alcohol floods in around the part and drains straight back out when you lift.
• Handle on the basket: Glob Mops' stated reason for the design — your fingers stay out of the ISO.
• Leak-proof: The round bucket seals well enough to travel with alcohol still inside.
• Sealed against evaporation: One fill lasts across sessions instead of needing constant topping up.
• Contains the smell: A closed tub keeps the isopropyl odour off your table and out of the room.
• Reusable solution: Alcohol drains back into the tub rather than down the sink after every soak.
• Two shapes: Round for travel and a tighter footprint, Square for a roomier station.
• Manufacturer pricing: $11.99 for the round is exactly what Glob Mops charge direct.

Summary: A sealed, drainable, reusable soaking station at the manufacturer's own price.

📐 Structured Specs

Summary: Two shapes, sealed tub and lift-out basket, alcohol sold separately.

🔌 Compatibility & Requirements

• Fits: Quartz bangers, inserts, carb caps, terp pearls and dab tools that sit inside the basket.
• Requires: Isopropyl alcohol, bought separately. High-strength ISO works fastest on dab residue.
• Pairs with: Glob Mops cotton swabs for the detail work a soak cannot reach.
• Alternative solution: Dark Crystal at $19.99 if you want a plant-based, odourless soak instead of alcohol.
• Not for: Bongs, tubes, downstems or anything that does not fit the basket.
• Age restriction: Sold to adults 21 and over only.

Summary: Small quartz parts plus your own alcohol, and swabs for what the soak misses.

🧼 How to Use & Troubleshooting

Basic use:

1. Lift the inner basket out of the tub.
2. Fill the tub with isopropyl to a level that will not overflow once the basket goes back in.
3. Let the banger cool completely, then place it in the basket. Never put hot quartz into alcohol.
4. Lower the basket so the ISO floods through the slots and covers the part.
5. Leave it to soak, then lift the basket by the handle and let the alcohol drain back into the tub.
6. Swab out anything the soak did not lift, rinse with warm water and dry fully before use.
7. Close the lid so the remaining alcohol keeps for next time.

Common problems → solutions:

• Residue still there after soaking → give it longer. A soak works on dwell time, not agitation.
• Alcohol turned dark fast → that is the residue lifting. Swap it out when a second soak stops making a difference.
• Banger cracked → it went in hot. Quartz has to cool to room temperature before it meets alcohol.
• ISO overflowing when the basket goes in → the tub is overfilled. Pour some out.
• Banger still chalky white → devitrified quartz from overheating, and no soak reverses it. Our guides on why quartz bangers turn black and how to clean a quartz banger cover the causes.

Summary: Cool the quartz first, soak it, lift and drain, swab the rest, and keep the lid on.

💬 Common Questions & Answers

Q: Does it come with swabs?
A: We would rather not promise it. Several retailers describe these buckets as arriving with assorted Glob Mops swab packs, but Glob Mops do not list swab contents on their own product page and packing has varied between runs. Buy it for the bucket and add swabs separately, or message us and we will open a box and tell you what is in the current batch.

Q: Is isopropyl included?
A: No. The bucket is the container; you supply the alcohol. Higher-strength ISO cuts dab residue faster.

Q: Round or square?
A: Round if it travels with you — it seals well enough to carry with alcohol inside. Square if it lives on your dab mat and you want more room to work. The mechanism is identical.

Q: Will my banger fit?
A: Standard bangers, inserts, caps and pearls fit. Glob Mops publish no dimensions and retailer listings disagree with each other, so if you run something oversized, measure it and ask us before you order.

Q: Can I reuse the alcohol?
A: Yes, and that is the point of the lid. The alcohol drains back into the tub when you lift the basket, and a sealed tub stops it evaporating between sessions. Replace it when a soak stops making a difference.

Summary: Bring your own alcohol, pick the shape by whether it travels, and treat any swabs as a bonus.

🛒 Build the Cleaning Station

A soak lifts most of it; a swab gets the rest. Glob Mops swabs are what the brand is actually known for, and they pair directly with this. If you would rather not use alcohol at all, Dark Crystal at $19.99 is odourless and safe on more surfaces. Browse Cleaning Supplies and Bong & Glass Cleaners, or read deep cleaning the Puffco Peak Pro for where a dunk station fits an e-rig routine.

Summary: Add swabs, choose your solution, and the station is done.
