Claim 11:
12. A method for controlling a fluid flow from a reservoir, comprising:
covering at least one breathing aperture positioned on a top surface of a reservoir containing fluid with a pressure actuated valve, wherein:
the reservoir comprises an opening disposed on a top surface of the reservoir for filling the reservoir with a fluid;
the reservoir further comprises a lid for sealing the opening;
the pressure actuated valve is mounted on the top surface of the reservoir and positioned at least partially inside the reservoir, covering the at least one breathing aperture;
the pressure actuated valve opens from a closed position when a first air pressure inside the reservoir decreases to a first level as a result of the fluid flowing out of one or more drainage apertures positioned on a bottom surface of the reservoir; and
the pressure actuated valve closes from an open position when the first air pressure inside the reservoir increases to a second level as a result of air flowing into the reservoir through the at least one breathing aperture;

draining fluid through the one or more drainage apertures on which one or more flow reduction valves are positioned, wherein:
the fluid flow through the one or more flow reduction valves and corresponding one or more drainage apertures is at least partially controlled by the opening and closing of the pressure actuated valve; and
the one or more flow reduction valves comprises a fluid passage through which the fluid flows prior to reaching the one or more drainage apertures; and

attaching a mopping cloth to the bottom surface of the reservoir to directly receive the fluid drained from the one or more drainage apertures, wherein:
the reservoir comprises a means for holding the mopping cloth to the bottom surface of the reservoir.
