Abstract
A wet floor wiping device includes a mop made of absorbent material and a mop frame exhibiting a center carrier piece () attached to a handle (). Mounted pivotably at each hinge edge () at the center carrier piece () are two mop carrier wings (), the inner surfaces of which, carrying the mop, can be pressed one against another by means of a squeeze feature. At least one of the two side edges () extending from the hinge edge () is angled in relationship to the opposite side edge (). Each mop carrier wing () forms a trapezoid including a right angle, the longer base line of which is the hinge edge ().
