A mop tool incorporating an attachment frame which can be pressed into place in locking relation across a disposable mop head backer plate. The attachment mechanism is releasable following use by a suitable technique such that the mop head can thereby be disengaged from the attachment frame without any need for the user to touch the mop head. The attachment frame may be pressed against a raised or depressed center zone on the backer plate thereby causing camming arms to rotate and moving operatively connected outboard rail members to a locked position. When detachment is desired, the prior rotation may be reversed thereby releasing the rail members such that the mop head can fall away.

Mopping system attachment mechanism

A mop head with a structural base and a resilient, compressible cover defining an internal void volume forming a reservoir that can be at least partially filled with a cleaning liquid through a surface opening in the cover. The structural base includes one or more liquid discharge channels which are normally closed off by spring-biased stopper members to prevent discharge of the cleaning liquid. The cleaning liquid may be selectively discharged by application of compressing force against the cover during use. The application of such compressing force displaces the stopper members thereby opening the liquid discharge channels and permitting the cleaning liquid to flow outwardly through the discharge channels and away from the mop head.
