A mop includes a mop pole, a quick connect mechanism mounted to the bottom of the mop pole and capable of attaching to a mop head, a lower handle grip mounted around a lower portion of the mop pole and configured to move axially along the mop pole, the lower handle grip being capable of attached to a mop head, an upper handle grip at least partially mounted around an upper portion of the mop pole and configured to move axially along the mop pole, and a rotational mechanism capable of imparting rotation into the mop pole in response to axial movement of the upper handle grip.

An all-in-one multi-functional implement that mops a floor in any direction without rotating the implement, is wrung outable, sweeps the floor in any direction without rotating the implement, and scrubs the floor from any direction without rotating the implement. The all-in-one multi-functional implement includes a handle, a mop head, and a broom and scrubber head. The handle has a longitudinal axis. The mop head is affixed to the handle and mops the floor in the any direction without rotating the handle about the longitudinal axis thereof. The broom and scrubber head is affixed to the handle, sweeps the floor in the any direction without rotating the handle about the longitudinal axis thereof, and scrubs the floor from the any direction without rotating the handle about the longitudinal axis thereof.

A mop has a plurality of strands secured to a head band. The head band comprises a closed loop formed in a first portion having a first width. A second portion of the head band has a second width where the second width is larger than the first width. The second portion is configured to enclose the distal end of a mop frame when the mop is mounted on the mop frame using the closed loop.

A cleaning article. The cleaning article has a laminate construction. The cleaning article comprises a sheet and a hydrophilic gather strip element joined together at an elongate bond. The gather strip element has plural layers folded upon one another, providing strips extending outwardly from the bond. The folded layers provide a construction which allows the strips to advantageously present a dynamically changing area to the target surface during cleaning, under normal usage conditions. By changing the surface area, more liquids, and associated debris, can be cleaned from the target surface.
