A quick squeezing self-wringing mop which utilizes an outer tubular member for wringing the mop dry. It comprises an outer tubular member, an inner shaft located within the outer tubular member and which is movable longitudinally relative to the inner shaft and rotatable relative thereto, a locking body, a mop, a spring-and-ratchet mechanism, and a handle member. The spring-and-ratchet mechanism comprises a pawl which is pivotally mounted to the outer tubular member. The pawl is biased by a spring such that its tip is engaged with one of the multiplicity of longitudinal ribs on the inner shaft to prevent the outer tubular member from rotating back to its initial position. When the outer tubular member is rotated in its clockwise circular path, which squeezes the mop, the outer tubular member can stop at any position relative the inner shaft and have the outer tubular member released, without causing the mop to unwind. The pawl is pressed against the spring to disengage it from the ribs of the inner shaft to unlock the rotational movement of the outer tube member, thereby allowing the outer tubular member to automatically and rapidly spring back to its initial position and unwind the mop for use.
