Abstract
A toilet mop is provided with a disposable scrubbing pad which is detachably connected to a handle by a simple, inexpensive device such as a rubberband, whereby the scrub pad can be readily detached from the handle without the necessity of touching the scrubbing pad for disposal purposes. The scrub pad is formed of compressed fibrous material having a slot extending therein from one edge of the pad. A flat insert having a plurality of projections along opposite side edges thereof is disposed in the pad with the projections engaging the fibers to prevent withdrawal of the insert. The handle is provided with a flat portion which may be inserted into the slot in superimposed contact with the insert and the rubberband may be connected between the insert and a notch on the handle to hold the pad on the handle.
