Abstract
A mop with a platen-shaped cleaning head member, to be used for dry or wet applications, with or without cleaning sheets, suited to be used as a liquid dispensing mop. An abrasive scrubber support is integrally formed with and extends from the forward upper surface of the cleaning head member. An abrasive scrubber component is secured to the support. The cleaning head member is connected to the mop's handle by a swivel joint which permits easy and ready rotation of the cleaning head member, 360° in relation to the handle. This permits unencumbered positioning of the abrasive scrubber, for efficient and effective cleaning of ingrained soiled surfaces. After this cleaning is completed, the cleaning head member can easily be rotated back to its primary cleaning position.
