FAQs

What is the exact capacity of the Micro Gorilla Tub?

The Micro Gorilla Tub has a capacity of 300ml, making it perfect for very small tasks and precise material handling.

Is the black Gorilla Tub safe for food use?

Yes, it is made from food-grade LDPE. However, it's important to note that the black variant specifically is not BPA-free, unlike some other colors. Please consider this for direct food contact if BPA is a concern for you.

Can I use this tub outdoors in all weather conditions?

Absolutely. The Micro Gorilla Tub is designed to be flexible and weather resistant, allowing for reliable performance in various outdoor conditions without cracking or becoming brittle.

How should I clean my Gorilla Tub?

Simply rinse it with water after use. For more stubborn or dried-on residues, use warm soapy water and a soft brush or sponge. Allow it to air dry completely.

Are the handles strong enough for contents?

Yes, despite its micro size, the golf ball handles are reinforced and built to take the pressure of even heavy concentrated loads, ensuring durability and ease of carrying.

What is the benefit of the chamfered edges?

The chamfered (beveled) edges significantly ease tasks like scooping up materials, sweeping contents into the tub, or pouring liquids smoothly without spills, enhancing efficiency and cleanliness.

What does 'food-grade LDPE' mean?

LDPE stands for Low-Density Polyethylene, a type of plastic known for its flexibility, durability, and resistance to chemicals. 'Food-grade' indicates that the material is deemed safe for contact with food products.

Is this tub suitable for use around animals?

Yes, the Gorilla Tub is produced using materials that are horse and pet friendly, making it safe for use in various animal care tasks, such as holding feed or water for small pets.

Troubleshooting

The black tub isn't BPA-free, is it safe for my food prep?

While made from food-grade LDPE, the black Micro Gorilla Tub is not BPA-free. For applications where BPA is a concern, consider using one of the other colored Gorilla Tubs, which are BPA-free.

The tub seems too small for my intended task.

The Micro Gorilla Tub is designed with a very small 300ml capacity for precise and miniature tasks. If you need a larger capacity, Red Gorilla offers various other Gorilla Tub sizes, including Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large.

My tub is difficult to clean after holding sticky materials.

For best results, rinse the tub immediately after use. If residue has dried, soak the tub in warm, soapy water for 15-30 minutes to loosen the material before scrubbing gently with a sponge or soft brush.

The tub seems to deform slightly when full of heavy contents.

While the tub is flexible and has reinforced handles and ribbed sides for strength, its small capacity is meant for specific small loads. Ensure you're not exceeding its practical limits for its micro size. Its flexibility is a design feature, allowing it to adapt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Micro Gorilla Tub requires no assembly or complex setup. It's ready to use straight out of the packaging. Simply ensure it's clean before its first use, especially if intended for food or pet contact.

Compatibility

This tub is highly compatible with a vast array of materials, from dry goods like screws, seeds, and soil to liquids such as water, paint, or cleaning solutions. Its flexibility allows it to be placed in various small spaces or manipulated to scoop efficiently. It is compatible with most household and garden chemicals, though prolonged exposure to very harsh solvents should be avoided to preserve material integrity.

Care & Maintenance

Caring for your Micro Gorilla Tub is straightforward, ensuring its longevity and continued performance:

  1. Immediate Cleaning: For best results, rinse the tub with water immediately after each use, especially if it contained sticky, oily, or acidic substances.
  2. General Cleaning: Use warm water and a mild dish soap. Scrub gently with a soft brush or sponge to remove any residue.
  3. Stubborn Stains: For dried-on dirt or tougher residues, allow the tub to soak in warm soapy water for 15-30 minutes before scrubbing.
  4. Drying: Air dry the tub completely before storing to prevent mildew or odors.
  5. Storage: Store the tub in a cool, dry place away from prolonged direct sunlight to maintain its color and material integrity over many years.
  6. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, strong solvents, or sharp objects inside the tub, as these can damage the material.
