FAQs

Is the Sky Blue Gorilla Tub truly food-safe?

Yes, this specific Sky Blue 14L Gorilla Tub is manufactured from food-grade LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) and is BPA-free, making it completely safe for storing, preparing, and coming into direct contact with food items.

Can I use this tub for hot liquids or materials?

While the tub is durable and flexible, it is made of LDPE which can soften or potentially deform under prolonged exposure to very hot liquids or materials. It is best suited for room temperature or cool substances to maintain its optimal performance and shape.

How much can the 14L tub hold?

The 'Small' Gorilla Tub has a 14-liter capacity. This is suitable for tasks such as carrying a small amount of garden soil, mixing a batch of compost, holding pet food, collecting weeds, or using as a small laundry basket.

Are the handles strong enough for heavy loads?

Absolutely. The handles are not only designed for an easy grip ('golf ball' texture) but are also reinforced to withstand significant pressure from even very heavy loads, making it easier and safer to transport contents.

What makes the edges 'chamfered'?

The chamfered edges refer to the slight angle or bevel on the rim of the tub. This design feature makes it significantly easier to scoop materials, sweep debris into the tub, or pour liquids out cleanly without spillage.

Is it safe for my pets?

Yes, this Gorilla Tub variant is made from non-toxic, BPA-free materials that are safe for use around horses and other household pets. You can confidently use it for pet feed, water, or toy storage.

How should I store my Gorilla Tub?

To prolong its life, store your tub in a cool, dry place, ideally out of direct sunlight when not in use. Its flexible nature allows for convenient nesting with other tubs of similar size if you have multiple, saving space.

Troubleshooting

Tub feels unstable or difficult to carry when full.

Ensure the load is evenly distributed within the tub. Utilize both reinforced 'golf ball' handles, positioning them for optimal balance and leverage, especially when transporting heavier contents. For very heavy or awkward items, consider emptying some contents or seeking assistance.

Difficulty cleaning off stubborn residue or odors.

For tough stains or persistent smells, create a paste or solution using warm water and baking soda. Apply it to the affected area, let it sit for at least an hour, then scrub with a non-abrasive brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and air dry.

Tub appears slightly deformed after heavy use or storage.

The flexible LDPE material allows for some temporary deformation under stress or when stored improperly. In most cases, it will return to its original shape over time. To prevent future deformation, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures (e.g., leaving a fully loaded tub in direct hot sun for days) and store it in a cool, dry place when empty.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Red Gorilla Gorilla Tub requires no assembly or complex setup. It arrives ready for immediate use. Simply unpackage and begin using it for your desired task.

Compatibility

This tub is highly compatible with a wide range of materials and environments. Its food-grade LDPE construction makes it safe for direct contact with edibles, and its BPA-free nature (for the Sky Blue variant) ensures it is safe for pets and animals. It's suitable for most liquids and solids, including garden soil, water, feed, cleaning solutions, and more. Avoid prolonged contact with very strong solvents or extremely sharp objects to prevent potential damage to the material.

Care

To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your Gorilla Tub, follow these simple care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, especially with food or dirt, rinse the tub thoroughly with water. For more stubborn residues or odors, use a mild dish soap and a soft brush or cloth. The flexible material makes it easy to bend and reach all corners for thorough cleaning.
  2. Drying: Allow the tub to air dry completely before storing to prevent mildew or odors.
  3. Storage: Store the tub in a cool, dry place, ideally out of direct, prolonged sunlight when not in use. While weather-resistant, continuous exposure to harsh UV rays over many years can eventually degrade plastics. Its flexible nature allows for nesting with other tubs of similar size for efficient storage.
