Behrens' pails can be used for a lot more than just toting water. They make excellent decorations, gift baskets and are even great for household cleaning. Behrens' Galvanized Steel Pail is a great choice for cleaning/mopping, farming/agriculture and even household organizing because of its ability to hold wet or dry contents. This steel constructed pail can hold up to 12 quarts and beats out its plastic competitors any day, as it can stand up to rodents, odor absorption and is recyclable. And unlike most plastic pails, or really any pail for that matter, it has an offset bottom that keeps it off the ground and a wire-reinforced top rim for truly superior strength. Adding to its defenses are deep wedging and the fact that it won't rust because it's weather-resistant. Whether you're using the pail to mop up a big mess or add that unique touch to your home decor, Behrens' Galvanized Steel Pail won't let you down.
