Abstract
A damp mop includes a handle with a bore that defines a reservoir for a volume of cleaning liquid. The neck includes a socket with an outlet chamber and a liquid outlet orifice is defined in the neck in communication with the outlet chamber. A handle tip is engaged with the neck socket and includes a flow passage in fluid communication with both reservoir and the outlet chamber. A rod is located in the handle and includes an inner end with a piston. The rod and piston are selectively manually movable between: (i) a retracted position in which liquid can flow from the reservoir into the outlet chamber; and (ii) an extended position in which the piston blocks flow of liquid. The piston pressurizes the outlet chamber when it moves from the retracted position to the extended position to cause cleaning fluid to be ejected from the outlet orifice.
