Abstract

A wet-cleaning appliance, in particular a wet mop, has a cleaning roller, which is mounted in a rotatable manner about a roller axis, and having a roller cover, which encloses the cleaning roller in the circumferential direction, at least in part, and has at least one movable covering element for optionally closing and/or releasing an opening region of the roller cover. In order to prevent residual liquid contained in the roller cover from dripping from the wet-cleaning appliance when the roller cover is opened, the movable covering element has a collecting unit, in particular a collecting container, which has a storage volume for collecting liquid that remains in the roller cover.
