Abstract
A sponge mop refill comprises a cellular foam body to which is affixed a thin, stiff, hard, planar backing strip. The backing strip is centrally cut out to provide needed flexibility as the refill is medially bent during the water extracting procedure. A pair of spaced, plastic, accordion rivets have their heads interposed between a surface of the foam body and a surface of the backing strip and are installed with the rivet shank extending outwardly through the backing member to facilitate easy application to and removal from a sponge mop.
