1. A combination of a trolley for carrying cleaning materials and a bucket structure, the trolley including a main trolley structure including a front end, a rear end, and a pair of sides, the trolley including front wheels at the front end and back wheels at the rear end, a housing, and a handle structure provided at the rear end by means of which the main trolley structure may be guided over a floor on the wheels, the handle structure being moveable relative to the main trolley structure from a stowed condition to an operating condition in which the handle structure is usable for guiding the trolley, the bucket structure including a container for containing cleaning liquid and at least three wheels whereby the bucket structure is stably moveable over the floor independently of the trolley, the housing of the main trolley structure including an accommodation space into which at least a part of the bucket structure may be wheeled from the front end or from a side of the pair of sides, such that the bucket structure is substantially within the housing when the bucket structure is received by the accommodation space, and there being a retaining device for retaining at least a part of the bucket structure in the accommodation space and which is readily releasable to permit subsequent separation of the trolley and bucket structure, the housing substantially surrounding the accommodation space on at least two of the front end, the rear end and the pair of sides, and the trolley including at least one storage area for carrying materials used for cleaning. 2. A combination according to claim 1 wherein the bucket structure has integral wheels and container. 3. A combination according to claim 1 wherein the container is provided on a dolly which has the bucket structure wheels and from which the container is separable. 4. A combination according to claim 1, herein the bucket structure includes a wringing mechanism mounted in or on the container, the wringing mechanism including a wringing handle which is moveable to move components of the wringing mechanism, and the wringing mechanism is sprung so that the wringing handle is urged towards a raised condition and when the bucket structure is received in the accommodation space, the wringing handle is urged to co-operate with a retainer part of the main trolley structure to provide the retaining device to retain the bucket structure in the accommodation space. 5. A combination according to claim 1, wherein the main trolley structure includes a retaining element which is moveable from a stowed position where the bucket structure can be wheeled into the accommodation space, to a retaining position in which the retaining element engages with the bucket structure to provide the retaining device. 6. A combination according to claim 5 wherein the retaining element is a bar pivotable relative to the main trolley structure between its stowed and retaining positions. 7. A combination according to claim 1 wherein when the handle structure is in its stowed condition the main trolley structure is contained substantially within a spatial footprint which is not significantly larger than the housing. 8. A combination according to claim 1, wherein the handle structure is useable as a support for a depending container. 9. A combination according to claim 1 wherein the bucket structure abuts a retainer member of the main trolley structure so that the bucket structure may be retained in the accommodation space between the retainer member and the retaining device. 10. A combination according to claim 1 wherein the main trolley structure provides the accommodation space for the bucket structure at or towards one of the front end of the main trolley structure, and at rear end, the main trolley structure provides a support, for an item to be carried on the support. 11. A combination according to claim 10 wherein the support, or one of the supports is foldable from a lowered ‘in use’ position to an upper stowed position. 12. A combination according to claim 11 wherein the support is lockable in the lowered, in use, position. 13. A trolley for carrying cleaning materials, the trolley including a main trolley structure including a front end, a rear end, and a pair of sides, the trolley including front wheels at the front end and back wheels at the rear end, a housing, and a handle structure provided at the rear end by means of which the main trolley structure may be guided over a floor on the wheels, the handle structure being moveable relative to the main trolley structure from a stowed condition to an operating condition in which the handle structure is usable for guiding the trolley, the housing of the main trolley structure including an accommodation space into which at least a part of a wheeled bucket structure may be wheeled from the front end or from a side of the pair of sides, such that the bucket structure is substantially within the housing when the bucket structure is received by the accommodation space, and there being a retaining device for retaining at least a part of the bucket structure in the accommodation space and which is readily releasable to permit subsequent separation of the trolley and bucket structure, the housing substantially surrounding the accommodation space on at least two of the front end, the rear end and the pair of sides, and the trolley including at least one storage area for carrying materials used the cleaning. 14. A trolley for carrying cleaning materials, the trolley including a main trolley structure including a front end, a rear end, and a pair of sides, the trolley including front wheels at the front end and back wheels at the rear end whereby the trolley is moveable over a floor on the wheels, and the trolley including a carrying structure extending outwardly of one of the front and rear ends and the sides of the main trolley structure, for mounting a carrying device which depends from the carrying structure, and the trolley including a support which is foldable at the one of the rear ends and the sides, between a lowered “in use” position in which at least one support wheel of the support engages the floor, and a raised position when the wheel of the support is raised clear of the floor, wherein the support is lockable in its lowered “in use” position. 15. A trolley according to claim 14 wherein the carrying structure is a handle by means of which the trolley structure may be guided over a floor. 16. A trolley according to claim 15 wherein the handle is moveable relative to the main trolley structure from a stowed condition, when not mounting a carrying device, to an operating condition in which the carrying device may be mounted to depend from the carrying structure. 17. A trolley according to claim 14, wherein the main trolley structure includes an accommodation space into which at least part of a bucket structure may be wheeled, the accommodation space being located at the front end of the main trolley structure and the support being located at the rear end of the main trolley structure.
