Abstract

A butterfly mop including a scrub strip which is mounted to an actuation yoke for the mop. The scrub strip is formed as a clip-on structure mounted to the actuation yoke adjacent to an end of the yoke. The scrub strip is movable from a non-use position to an operable position when the actuation yoke is actuated to wring the mop. In addition, a mechanism is provided for locking the scrub strip in its operable position to facilitate use of the scrub strip.
