Abstract
A self-wringing mop including an elongated handle, a sleeve slidably mounted on the handle and a flexible relatively long mopping member having a first end attached to the sleeve and a second end attached to a lower end of the handle. The mopping member includes material defining a plurality of flaps which are movable to a location below the lower end of the handle in response to movement of the sleeve toward the lower end of the handle. The plurality of flaps are connected to each other by a circumferentially extending extent of material of the mopping member to form a bonnet adjacent to a lower end of the flaps.
