FAQs

Is this tub safe for food preparation and storage?

Yes, the Red Gorilla Small Shallow 15L Tub in Pistachio is made from food-grade material and is BPA-free, making it entirely suitable and safe for food storage and preparation. Please be aware that Black, Green, and Yellow variants are not BPA-free.

Can I leave the tub outside in all weather conditions?

Absolutely. This Gorilla Tub is specifically designed to be weather-resistant and durable, making it perfectly suitable for continuous outdoor use in various weather conditions, from sun to rain.

What is the purpose of the 'golf patterned handles'?

The golf patterned handles are ergonomically designed to provide a comfortable and secure grip. This feature makes it significantly easier to carry the tub, even when it's heavy or full, reducing strain on your hands.

What is the actual capacity of this specific tub?

This particular model, the Small Shallow Gorilla Tub, has a practical and versatile capacity of 15 liters, making it ideal for a variety of small to medium tasks.

Can I use this tub for very hot liquids or materials?

While the tub is durable, it's generally best to avoid extremely hot liquids or materials. Prolonged exposure to very high temperatures could potentially affect the material's long-term integrity or flexibility. It performs best with warm, cold, or room-temperature substances.

How should I clean the tub after using it for gardening or dirty tasks?

Cleaning is simple: rinse the tub thoroughly with water. For stubborn dirt, soil, or sticky residues, use a stiff brush or sponge with mild soap. Its smooth, non-porous surface ensures that most grime can be easily removed.

Troubleshooting

Tub appears misshapen or has minor dents.

Due to its flexible design, minor deformations are common and usually not permanent. Gently reshape the tub by hand; its durable material is designed to return to its original form.

Difficulty cleaning after holding sticky substances (e.g., concrete mix, dough).

For non-food sticky residues like concrete, allow them to dry completely, then flex the tub to crack and dislodge the material. For food residues like dough, soak the tub in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before scrubbing.

Handles feel uncomfortable or dig into hands when carrying heavy loads.

Ensure you are using both golf-patterned handles evenly to distribute the weight. For extremely heavy loads, consider filling the tub partially or using a second person to assist in lifting and carrying.

Tub shows signs of discoloration or fading after prolonged outdoor use.

While weather-resistant, prolonged and continuous exposure to harsh UV sunlight can lead to some color fading over many years. To preserve its appearance, store the tub in a shaded area or indoors when not in use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly versatile for many household, garden, and food-related uses
  • Durable and built to last through rigorous activity
  • Easy to carry with comfortable, secure golf-patterned handles
  • Food-grade and BPA-free (specifically for the Pistachio color)
  • Weather resistant, suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments

Cons

  • 15L capacity might be too small for very large or extensive tasks
  • Specific colors (Black, Green, Yellow) are not BPA-free, limiting food use for those variants
  • Shallow design might not be ideal for deep liquids or materials that require significant containment without risk of spillage
  • Can be temporarily misshapen under extreme pressure, though usually returns to form

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This product requires no setup; it's ready for immediate use straight out of the box. Its inherent flexibility and durable design ensure it is compatible with a wide range of environments and tasks, from a busy workshop or garden to a quiet kitchen or children's play area.

To care for your Gorilla Tub, simply rinse it with water and a mild dish soap after each use. For more stubborn residues, such as dried mud or concrete mix, allow the material to dry completely, then gently flex the tub; the dried material will often crack and dislodge. A stiff brush can also be used for cleaning. Its smooth, non-porous surface makes cleaning straightforward and hygienic, especially important when used for food.

Due to its weather-resistant properties, the tub can be stored both indoors and outdoors. However, to maintain its vibrant Pistachio color and overall material integrity over many years, storing it away from prolonged direct sunlight when not in use is recommended. When using for food, always ensure it is thoroughly cleaned and dry before and after use. Avoid exposing the tub to extremely hot liquids or harsh chemical solvents, which could potentially compromise its material properties or longevity.
