ABSTRACT:
A sponge mop comprising a base plate secured to a handle, a squeeze plate rotatably attached to a free edge of the base plate, a sponge affixed to the bottom surface of the squeeze plate, and a sponge wringer rotatably attached to the upper surface of the squeeze plate. Rotation of the sponge wringer against the squeeze plate and towards the base plate causes wringing out of the sponge between the plates. The sponge wringer is rotated essentially 360.degree. so that it is adjacent to the mop handle when the sponge is fully wrung out. When the mop is in the mopping position, the handle can be lowered or raised with respect to the surface being mopped, while the sponge remains flush on that surface, by insertion of tabs on the sponge wringer in selected openings provided in the base plate for different handle orientations.
