Abstract
A sponge mop head including a support plate for supporting a sponge and a wringer plate pivotally attached to a front edge of the support plate. A planar extension plate portion is provided extending rearwardly from the support plate such that a sponge will be substantially fully compressed between the wringer plate and the support plate and extension plate portion during a wringing operation. In addition, a handle mounting socket is provided located rearwardly of the support plate for facilitating use of the mop in low overhang areas, and to accommodate a wringer plate large enough to fully cover a compressed sponge during a wringing operation.
