Abstract
A container assembly includes a one piece container body and a press member connected to the container body. The container body includes a bottom wall and a plurality of side walls extending upwardly from the bottom wall to define a liquid reservoir. One of the side walls includes a wringing surface. The press member is operatively connected to the container body for movement of the press member between a wringing position and a non-wringing position relative to the wringing surface of the container body. The press member and the wringing surface define a mop receiving volume. The mop receiving volume has a volume V1 when the press member is in its non-wringing position and a V2 when the press member is in its wringing position. The volume V2 is less than the volume V1. The press member and the wringing surface are configured to wring liquid out of a mop upon movement of the press member from its non-wringing position toward its wringing position when a mop head is positioned between the press member and wringing surface.
