Abstract

The wet mop (1) for cleaning floor surfaces consists of a bearing structure (2), preferably made of textiles, having holder insertion pockets (3), which are sewn on at the longitudinal ends on the upper side, and having material (4, 6), attached to the underside, for picking up dirt and moisture, and tassels, arranged peripherally at the front. The mop is to be improved to the effect that it has a low weight and, at the same time, a high degree of absorbency and liquid-storage capacity with a high capability of picking up dirt at the same time. <??>This is achieved in that sponge or non-woven material with a high degree of liquid absorbency is applied as the material on the underside in the form of several laminar strips (4) which are arranged adjacently in rows and form channels which are open at the bottom, the strips (4) each being attached to the bearing structure (2) in some regions. <IMAGE>
