A cleaning implement (1) wherein the plate-like carrier (2) for a mophead (6) has a centrally located plate-like support (7) which overlaps the upper surfaces of inner portions of two plate-like sections (9, 9a) having outer portions (5) with devices for releasably clamping flaps (33) at the ends of a mophead. Alternatively, the plate-like sections (9, 9a) may be used to secure a mophead (6) having pockets (100, 110a). The sections of the carrier (2) are held in a first position (in which their lower surfaces are substantially coplanar and the median portion of the mophead is stretched along the lower surfaces of the sections) by a single locking bolt (14) which is reciprocable in a guide (13) at the upper side of the support (7). The guide (13) defines a pivot axis for the lower end of a handle (4), and the sections (9, 9a) are pivotable about two neighboring axes which are normal to the pivot axis for the handle (4). The locking bolt (14) is selectively releasable into one of two configurations. In a second, collapsed, position, the sections (9, 9a) are substantially confronting. In a third, semi-collapsed, position, the sections (9, 9a) are retained at an angle between the first position and the second position. The locking bolt (14) is automatically locked in the first position when the sections (9, 9a) of the carrier (2) are pivoted back to a coplanar position from either the second position or the third position.
