Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0241746A2] An improved cleaning implement for hard surface cleaning is provided. This improved cleaning implement includes a handle, a mop head pivotably attached to said handle, and which has a pad forming a bottom surface, and at least one elevational element removably attached to the bottom surface of the pad. The elevational element provides the mop with the ability to pivot relative the surface to be cleaned. This improved cleaning implement is used in synergy with a disposable absorbent cleaning pad engaging the elevational element.
