Abstract

A self-wringing mop is disclosed comprising a mop stick, an “H” shape frame having one side slidably but not rotatably attached to the mop stick and the other side connected to a short rotating offset that is spaced around five (5) inches apart from the mop stick. A mop head in the form of a bundle of threads has one end connected to the lower end of the mop stick and the other end connected to the lower end of the rotating offset. By turning the driving handle on the rotating offset even a large-size mop head that is more difficult to wring, can be wrung quickly and efficiently.
