A bucket having a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction includes: a first extension in the longitudinal direction; a second extension in the transverse direction, the first extension being greater than the second extension; two longitudinal sides; a front transverse side; a rear transverse side; and at least one substantially bow-shaped handle. The at least one handle extends in the longitudinal direction and is pivotable in the transverse direction. A spout of the bucket includes a self-contained through-hole and is arranged in the front transverse side.

Described is a cleaning assembly 11, such as a mop bucket, for use with a cleaning liquid. The cleaning assembly comprises a drying mechanism 12; a collecting receptacle 13, for receipt of the cleaning liquid, fluidly connected to the drying mechanism 12; and a rinsing receptacle 14, also for receipt of the cleaning liquid, fluidly connected to the collecting receptacle 13 via a filter 15, wherein the collecting receptacle 13 is positioned relative to the rinsing receptacle 14 so as to promote flow of the cleaning liquid from the collecting receptacle 13 to the rinsing receptacle 14 through the filter 15. A method of cleaning using the cleaning assembly is also described.

The invention relates to a cleaning head, comprising: a base part with a central axis; and a number of arms extending radially with respect to the central axis each having a first end that is connected to said base part, and a second free end, wherein said second end is displaceable between a starting position in which the second end of the arms is near the central axis, and a use mode wherein the second end of the arms is at a position remote from the central axis, and wherein the second ends of the arms in the use mode are in a same plane as said base part. The cleaning head is characterized in that the arms in de use mode are bendable in tangential direction with respect to each other around said base part.

In an embodiment, the present invention provides a torsion wringer including: a contraction device for receiving a mop head of a mop, the contraction device having an upper part and a lower base which are interconnected by contraction lamellae, the contraction lamellae being hinged to the upper part and to the lower base such that the upper part can rotate relative to the lower base, the contraction device being movable relative to a carrier device over a distance of travel, as a result of which the upper part rotates through an angle of rotation relative to the carrier device and relative to the lower base. A reduction unit is provided so as to reduce a force which counteracts the rotation of the upper part.
