Abstract

A mop head for holding a removable mop includes first and second elongate support members that are movable relative to each other to clamp a mop therebetween. The support members are releasably connected to each other at one end by a projection which can be fitted into an opening, and are connected to each other at the other end by a spring-biased handle. The support members can be pivoted relative to each other to enable a mop to be removed and replaced easily. In an alternative embodiment, the support members can be displaced relative to each other by a movable portion of a handle.
