ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A novel sponge mop is provided herein. The sponge mop includes a hollow body of elongate tubular configuration; an operating handle adapted for axial reciprocation within the body between a working posi- tion and a water wringing position, the handle endwardly carrying a sponge assembly connector means, the sponge assembly connector means comprising a cylindrical, axially aligned fastener means downwardly projecting from the handle; a sponge squeezing assembly affixed at one end of the hollow body, the sponge squeezing assembly comprising at least a pair of spaced rollers to wring water from the sponge; and a sponge assembly releasably connected to the sponge assembly connector means and comprising a sponge, a sponge carrier and engagement means to engage the sponge assembly fastener means, the engagement means com- prising a threaded nut secured to the sponge carrier, the nut releasably engaging the fastener means, at least major portion of the sponge being pulled between the rollers to drive water from the sponge when the operating handle is reciprocated to its water wringing position. In this construction, all necessary upwardly directed forces required to wring water from the sponge or downwardly directed forces to expose the sponge below the rollers for cleaning action are axially applied by the reciprocating handle within the hollow body. All forces necessary for sponge wringing purposes are applied directly in axial alignment whereby the reciprocation of the sponge above and below the rollers can be accom- plished with minimum forces in a fully balanced manner, thereby to assure most efficient application of force. The simplified wring means design requires the utilization of only a minimum number of operating parts.
