Abstract
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.
