The cleaning strip (2) comprises at least one cleaning surface (5) on which raised cleaning islands (6) made of flock fibers are arranged. The cleaning strip (2) is attached to the mop head (1) at one of its ends (3) and has a free end (4). The raised cleaning islands (6) on the at least one cleaning surface (5) of the cleaning strip (2) are arranged at certain distances (7) from each other and are surrounded on all sides by storage spaces (8) for holding dirt. The size of the storage spaces (8) steadily decreases from the end (3) of the cleaning surface (5) facing the mop head (1) in the mopping direction (9) of the free end (4).
