Abstract
A dust mop and method of making same which includes a pair of fabric layers defining a flat generally rectangular support member having one or more rows of looped yarn secured thereto by stitching, with the looped ends of the yarn extending outwardly beyond the longitudinal edges of the support member. The back fabric layer may have spaced-apart transverse slits therein to facilitate mounting the mop on a mop holder. In one form of the invention, a single row of looped yarn is secured to the support member by transversely spaced-apart stitching rows, with the looped ends of the yarn extending outwardly beyond the opposite longitudinal edges of the support member. The strands of yarn between the stitching rows preferably either have a length greater than the straight line distance between such stitching rows so that those strands hang down away from the support member during use of the mop, or the strands of yarn between such stitching rows are cut to provide free yarn ends. In another form of the invention, separate and distinct rows of looped yarn are stitched to the support member along both longitudinal edges thereof, and the remainder of the support member intermediate the rows of looped yarn is desirably covered by plural longitudinally extending cords of yarn running substantially the full length of the support member.
