Abstract
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a mop is disclosed, comprising a handle, a mop head and a wringing grip slidably and rotatably mounted on the handle. The mop head is coupled between the wringing grip and the handle such that upon rotation of the wringing grip relative to the handle, the mop head is wrung. The wringing grip includes an element for engaging the handle when the wringing grip is compressed against the handle to facilitate wringing of the mop head by inhibiting the wringing grip from rotating relative to the handle. The engaging element comprises at least one protrusion which extends inwardly from the wringing grip toward the handle, and the at least one protrusion comprises an insert which is located within at least one opening in the wringing grip.
