Abstract
The invention relates to a wiping device for wiping surfaces to be cleaned, especially floor surfaces, comprising a plate-type or frame-type wiping element holder (), preferably in an essentially long, rectangular form, and a wiping element () consisting of textile material or the like, which is adapted and fixed to the wiping element holder (). Said wiping element () respectively comprises, on the upper side facing the wiping element holder (), close to the two opposing sides, and close to the narrow sides in the long, rectangular form, a narrow fixing strip (), which is applied with its ends to the wiping element () [sic]. Said fixing strip extends approximately transversally on the wiping element holder () when the wiping element () is fixed to the same (). Position fixing arrangements are provided on the wiping element holder (), where the fixing strips () should extend when the wiping element is fixed (). The fixing strips () especially consist of textile material or the like and are sewn at the ends thereof to the wiping element (). The position fixing arrangements () are especially embodied as edge recesses starting from the ends, in which the fixing strips () are placed in the correct position.
