The present invention provides a germicidal mop head and a method of manufacturing the same. In one embodiment, the mop head includes: (1) absorbent material capable of retaining a germicide, (2) a predetermined quantity of germicide contained in or residing on at least a portion of the absorbent material and (3) a container, located about at least a portion of the absorbent material, that retains the germicide about the germicidal mop head. The present invention therefore introduces a (preferably single-use and disposable) mop head that is germicide-impregnated for convenience and efficacy.
