A floor mop or the like is shown including a mop removably, replaceably mounted to a mop carrier, for instance using conventional Velcro hook and fleece fasteners. The mop carrier is pivotally mounted to a mop handle via a bearing arrangement that includes sleeves on the carrier and handle, pinned together with a pivot pin that is non-rotatable relative to the carrier but which provides for a limited degree of rotation of the mop carrier relative to the mop handle upon overcoming a moderate degree of friction between the pivot pin and mop handle bearing barrel that results from a snut fit between specially contoured surfaces of these two members.
