A self-wringing foam cotton mop includes a mop rod and a foam cotton head connected to a bottom end of the mop rod. A wringing frame is disposed on the mop rod. During mopping, the foam cotton head is separated from the wringing frame. A squeezing mechanism capable is disposed on the wringing frame. The position of the squeezing mechanism when the foam cotton head is moved up relative to the wringing frame is different from the position of the squeezing mechanism when the foam cotton head is moved down relative to the wringing frame, and a first amount of deformation generated by the foam cotton head during an upward movement of the foam cotton head relative to the wringing frame is greater than the second amount of deformation generated by the foam cotton head during a downward movement of the foam cotton head relative to the wringing frame.

A squeeze mop comprises a mop head having a central head region secured relative to a handle and a pair of cleaning pad supports which are pivotally located relative to the central head region and movable towards one another to compress the cleaning pad material therebetween, the mop head further comprising biasing means to rotate the two pad supports away from the position at which the cleaning pad material is compressed between the pad supports, said biasing means comprising an elongate elastomeric element the two ends of which are secured to a respective one of the two cleaning pad supports and wherein the head region comprises a platform section for engagement by the elastomeric element, said platform section being located closer to the handle than the at least one position about which the pad supports are pivotally located relative to the head region.

A cleaning device is removably attachable to a replacement head. The replacement head includes pad that is attached to the lower side of an attachment member and is in contact with the floor during cleaning. The cleaning device is removably attached to the attachment member of the replacement head by lowering the cleaning device body downward vertically onto the replacement head until a mechanical connection is achieved.
