ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. The invention is a use of absorbing material such as a sponge along with a supporting device to allow a mop head to dry while being supported in an inverted position.
2. No mop head until now has been dried in this inverted position with a removable drying material that doesn't permit the moisture of the mop to drip to the floor or ground that would cause more work for the user.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
By using the mop stand, a person can dry their mop heads without the thought of a smelly mop being stored in their house. The removable drying material solves this problem. The drying material can be removed and placed into a washing machine for cleaning.
Because the upper and lower structures are slightly wider than the mop head itself, the mop when placed in the mop stand can be neatly stored in an out of the way corner of the home. The handle on the top half of the mop stand, allows for easy pick up and transport of the device when not in use. The twist hold downs and their slots join the upper and lower halves together forming a single piece to carry. The base when weighted down with a material such as sand will support the mop for the drying time of the mop head.
