ABSTRACT:
The method of assembly of a mop head which includes a polymer carrier in the form of a channel with in-turned lips or barbs on opposed flanges that retain compressed mop material without the need for glue or the like. The method includes compressing a block of mop material between two surfaces to reduce its thickness and to stiffen it, and then driving the compressed mop material into the channel, whereupon expansion of the mop material engages the lips or barbs. The molded polymer carrier channel is relatively rigid and can have reinforcements to resist resilient opening of the channel. The extent of compression of the mop material is substantial, for example, by a factor of four or five during compression, and another factor of two when passing through the nip between the lips.
