Abstract

A wet mop with a handle and a mop head made of absorbent strands or the like. The mop head is releasably attached to the end of the handle at its bottom end, and to a handpiece that can be moved relative to the handle at its top end. The handle is provided with a helical groove in a top first partial region of the region covered by the mop head in its extended, stretched position. A guide element of the handpiece is guided in this groove. The handle has a lower second partial region below the first region. The second region releases the guide element and therefore also the handpiece.
