<p>A self-wringing swab type mop (2) which has absorbent material strands (8) and a hollow sleeve (10) encompassing the mop handle (4). The sleeve (10) is slidably mounted for movement along the handle (4) and over the absorbent strands (8). A squeeze ring (12) made up of a plurality of rollers (14) is located within a housing (11) permanently secured to the sleeve. The ring serves to squeeze moisture from the strands as the sleeve travels over the strands. When the sleeve is in position completely covering the strands, the mop presents a stable, compact unit, weighted at its end beneath the sleeve. In this position, an abrasive scrubber surface (26) secured to the sleeve by means of an integral scrubber support (18) can effectively and efficiently be used to clean ingrained soiled surfaces without encumbrance from the mop strands.</p> |
