A head () for a strip mop comprises a hollow dome-shaped body () which is attachable at its top to one end of an elongate mop handle (). Web material is secured within the body () so that a portion hangs down from the base of the dome-shaped body to provide the cleaning substrate () of the mop. To facilitate access to confined areas of a surface that is being cleaned, such as corners, the base of the dome-shaped body () of the mop head has the general form of an equilateral triangle. A spacer (, FIG.) is provided between two adjacent layers of the web material within the dome-shaped body, to enhance the volume of the cleaning substrate (); and a peripheral skirt () of a more resilient material is provided at the base of the wall of the dome-shaped body () to reduce the risk of damage to surfaces that might be impacted by the mop head () when in use.
