Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9608193A1] A method of producing a mop head, particularly a refill mop head (1), comprises forming a core of elongate absorbent strip elements (1a), preferably by coiling up a single web of absorbent strip material having slits (10) formed therein defining the individual strip elements, and around an end portion of the core moulding a body of plastics material, e.g. with an integral socket (20), to form a means by which the core can be mounted on a mop handle, characterised in that prior to formation of the core, an end zone (2) of the strip material, around which the plastics material is moulded, is subjected to a calendering process, wherein the strip material is pulled or driven between a pair of spaced apart, preferably heated, contra-rotating rollers, in order to reduce its thickness and densify the strip material in the end zone.
