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 washing bucket has a container with an interior defined by wall and a bottom, the fluid inlet affixed to the wall of the container, and a fluid outlet opening through the wall of the container. The fluid outlet is positioned at a level higher than a level of the fluid inlet. The fluid inlet communicates with the interior of the container. The fluid inlet is positioned adjacent to the bottom of the container. In particular, the fluid inlet is a tubular member having a plurality of openings. This plurality of openings opens to the interior of the container.

A mop washing bucket has a container with an interior volume defined by a bottom and a wall extending upwardly from the bottom, a fluid inlet affixed adjacent to the bottom of the container, and a fluid outlet formed on the container in a location above the fluid inlet. The fluid inlet is adapted to be connected to a water hose. The fluid inlet extends through the wall of the container so as to have one end in the interior volume of the container and another end exterior of the wall of the container. The fluid outlet is adapted to allow water from the interior volume of the container to flow outwardly of the container.

A mop cleaning device with an adjustable cleaning tub includes a water wiper, a big container, a small container, and a lifting mechanism arranged between the big container and the small container. The small container is able to rise and fall with respect to the big container by means of the lifting mechanism. When the small container is located at a low position, the water level in the big container is higher than water inlets of the small container. When the small container is located at a high position, the water level in the big container is lower than the water inlets of the small container. The water wiper is arranged in the big container and/or the small container.
