Abstract
A domestic floor mop comprises an absorbent band mounted on a bracket carried at the end of a handle. A rotary torsion head is engaged with the band and is rotatably mounted in the bracket. A fastener is fixed to each end of the band, and the fasteners are monted on the bracket for movement between a washing position, in which said fasteners are spaced apart and said band is deployed in a plane, and a wringing position in which said fasteners are closer together such that said band is gathered towards said rotary head to permit twisting of the band upon rotation of said rotary head. The fasteners are each slidably mounted in a respective guide carried by said bracket and extending in a plane parallel to the deployment plane of said band.
