utility closet
Mop and bucket
A utility closet is a small enclosed space for storing cleaning supplies, tools, or maintenance equipment—mops, brooms, buckets, vacuum cleaners.
In commercial buildings, utility closets often house electrical panels, water heaters, or building systems.
The term distinguishes functional storage from bedroom closets meant for clothing: The janitor grabbed supplies from the utility closet.
