Patent ID: 10052008

Abstract:
A two-sided mop comprises a mop head (100) that is rotatably secured to a bracket (105) which in turn is secured to a handle (110). A replaceable, sock-like cleaning pad (135) is urged onto the mop head from one end and secured there by a plurality of fingers (405) that are springably urged outward from the mop head, or by changing the shape of the mop head to stretch one end of the pad so that it is taut, or by securing the pad with fasteners. In a first embodiment, the cleaning pad is partially ejected from the head by a foot (510) that is moved by pushing on an actuator button (505). When one side of a cleaning pad is soiled, the opposite side of the cleaning pad is selected by rapid up-forward-or-backward-and then down motions of the mop.
