Can I use this tub outdoors?

How do I clean my Gorilla Tub?

What is the capacity of this tub?

This is the Mini Shallow 5L Gorilla Tub, meaning it has a capacity of 5 liters.

Are the handles strong enough for heavy loads?

Yes, the Gorilla Tub features reinforced handles designed to withstand the pressure of even very heavy loads, making it reliable for transport.

Can I stack these tubs for storage?

Troubleshooting

Tub appears stained after holding certain materials (e.g., soil, paint).

Clean promptly after use. For tougher stains, use warm water with a mild detergent and a stiff brush. For very persistent marks, a non-abrasive household cleaner might be used, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Tub is difficult to carry when completely full and heavy.

Utilize both 'golf ball' handles to distribute the weight evenly, which reduces strain and improves grip stability. If still too heavy, consider filling it partially or using multiple tubs for the task.

Tub seems to be losing its flexibility or becoming brittle over time.

Ensure the tub is not being consistently exposed to extreme UV radiation or very low temperatures for extended periods. While weather resistant, prolonged harsh conditions can affect plastic. Store in a shaded area when not in use.

Tub has an odor after being used for certain substances.

Thoroughly wash the tub with warm, soapy water. For persistent odors, a mixture of baking soda and water can be used as a paste, left to sit, then rinsed thoroughly. Air dry completely, preferably outdoors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care for Your Gorilla Tub Mini Shallow 5L Blue

Setup

Your Gorilla Tub requires no assembly or setup. Simply unwrap and it's ready for immediate use.

Compatibility

This tub is highly compatible with a vast array of tasks and environments:

  • Surfaces: Can be used on almost any surface, including rough ground, concrete, wood, and delicate flooring without causing damage due to its flexible nature.
  • Contents: Suitable for liquids, solids, granular materials, organic matter, food, and pet supplies.
  • Environments: Ideal for indoor use (kitchen, bathroom, utility room, playroom) and outdoor use (garden, stable, workshop, garage).

Care and Maintenance

Caring for your Gorilla Tub is straightforward, ensuring its long lifespan and continued performance:

  1. Cleaning: For general cleaning, simply rinse the tub with water. For stubborn dirt or grime, use warm soapy water and a brush or sponge. The smooth, non-porous surface is easy to wipe clean.
  2. Storage: While weather resistant, storing your tub out of direct prolonged sunlight when not in use can help maintain its color and material integrity over many years. It can be nested with other tubs of similar or larger sizes for compact storage.
  3. Chemicals: Avoid prolonged contact with strong solvents or abrasive cleaners, which could potentially degrade the material over time. Mild household detergents are perfectly safe.
  4. Temperature: Although durable, avoid exposing the tub to extreme, direct heat sources (e.g., open flames, hot coals) as this could melt or deform the plastic.
