Abstract
A cleaning tool having a basic body which exhibits a handle and a holding device for the reception of a liquid-absorbing element for moistening an object to be wiped, most particularly a flat surface. The cleaning tool also has a mounting for a scraping element for sweeping the object in order to dry it, wherein the holding device is disposed between the mounting and the handle in such a way that, by changing the inclination of the basic body relative to the object, the latter can either be moistened or the moisture upon the object can be stripped off by the cleaning tool, and in a sweeping setting of the cleaning tool, the swept-off moisture being able to be absorbed by the liquid-absorbing element. The basic body may be pivotable relative to the handle from a first spring-loaded position into a second spring-loaded position. The scraping element may have two rubber lips. A wiping cloth, preferably having a cross section which is V-shaped, may be held by the holding device.
