The invention pertains to a mop and in particular to an improved mop and squeezing device combination, the mop comprising a backing plate, an absorbent body attached thereto, a handle pivotally connected to the backing plate, and one or more arms rigidly attached to the lower end of the handle, the combination of the handle and the arms forming a lever, the arms being co-operable with an auxiliary abutment so that pivoting movement of the handle causes a downward pressure onto the backing plate for squeezing the absorbent body; the squeezing device comprising a, preferably arcuate squeezing plate, a holder therefor and optionally one or more squeezer arms rigidly attached to the holder which are cooperable with the lever arms. The mopping device requires only limited force to accomplish complete squeezing-out of the absorbent body and provides improved removal of dirt from the absorbent body.
