Abstract

The invention concerns a flat floor-mop-type covering for cleaning floors, with a cover sheet which, on the upper surface, comprises pockets for securing it to a mounting and, in the central region of the lower surface, loops or strands. Strands are disposed on both sides of a seam of a peripheral strand strip. In this respect, the inner strands are short enough to insure that when they swell owing to the effect of moisture, they bend through approximately 90.degree. in the direction of the surface to be wiped and form a type of brush ring.
