Strucket

The Straining Bucket

The Strucket Story

Designed & Made in Australia

The Strucket is the world’s first strainer-bucket. An innovative system that will modernise the way you soak and drain. Invented by Sunshine Coast Mother of 3, Kelly Lavery, the idea was spawned from a moment of desperation.

After the birth of her third child, Kelly was soaking everything imaginable, nappies, bibs, toys not to mention her own sheets, towels and the fruit and veg! The soaking part was simple, Kelly would fill a bucket and let her items marinate as the stains, dirt, and grime slowly dissolved. However, it was the aftermath that she returned to that made her want to cry!

On a good day, Kelly would have enough time left to get back to her soaking items and remember to drain them, on a not so good day it would continue to sit there and fester for anywhere up to a week! Either way, it was guaranteed that when Kelly returned to her soaking it would be there staring her down… a bucket full of unhygienic, chemical-laden toxic mess – a bucket that she had to put her hand in to get her now un-stained, un-grimed items and drain.

As a result, this bucket of grime made Kelly many times simply refuse to finish the job, leaving it for her unsuspecting and sweet husband Al.

Looking for a solution to this mess, Kelly searched high and low for a bucket that would stop her from having to come into contact with the dirty water in the bottom. However, she couldn’t find a solution, so she decided to create one! As a result, came The Strucket – the world’s first strainer-bucket.

Simple But Effective

The Strucket is your all-in-one soaking solution. It allows you to soak, separate and drain without ever having to touch unhygienic chemical-filled, water again. Thus, it is the perfect solution for sensitive skin whilst reducing landfill with items such as disposable nappies.

Lastly, with so many uses, the Strucket takes the strain out of soaking giving you back more time to spend doing things that you enjoy… like playing with the kids or showering in peace (cause we all know this is what Mums really dream of)!

“Putting my hand in a bucket of soaking nappies was like putting it in a dirty toilet! I hated it and wanted a better way… when there wasn’t one, I created the Strucket!”

Kelly Lavery, Founder

Lastly, made to fit in most laundry sinks, this multipurpose strainer and bucket is perfect for every household.

Lid for 19L Strucket

Keep your soaking clothes, towels, cloth nappies or even fresh produce out of sight with the Strucket Straining Bucket 19L Lid.

Designed for use with Strucket Straining Bucket 19L in Aqua, Grey or Sand, this plastic lid is designed to securely snap into place atop the strainer of the Strucket bucket. Perfect for keeping kids hands or pets out of the bucket when it is in use, this lid available in aqua, grey or navy can be mixed or matched with the 19L Struckets. To use lock one side of the lid over the handle of the Strucket bucket, twist the lid as you lower it over the second handle and snap it into place.

Strucket lid 19L

Strucket is perfect for modern cloth nappies. When the strainer is connected to the side you can store your rinsed nappies as the base catches the drips, you can then flush the dirty water out by running water in the side gap and releasing the plug….keeping the laundry fresh!

Strucket is also brilliant for hand-washing and delicates because of the gentle agitation.

The Strucket strainer bucket can also be used as a laundry basket and be taken directly to the clothesline.
