This self-wringable mop comprises an elongated handle (12); a support assembly (14) secured adjacent the normally-lower extremity of the handle (20), and having a generally-planar surface disposed at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the handle; a compressible absorbent cleaning element (26) having a first surface (28) substantialy registering with and detachably secured to the generally-planar surface of the support assembly (14), and an opposed substantially-flat second surface (30); and a manually-actionable wringing assembly (18) comprising a lever mechanism (62, 64) pivotally mounted in relation to the handle, and a single roller unit (76) operably secured to the lever mechanism and disposed so that upon manual actuation the roller unit (76) rolls over and progressively compresses cleaning element (26) against the generally-planar surface of support assembly (18), thereby wringing absorbed fluids from the cleaning element (26), the wringing assembly being disposed when in an at-rest position so as not to interfere with mopping operation.
