Abstract (en)

Novel cleaning implements and novel components of cleaning implements are provided. Aspects relate to novel wringers (18) having convex regions with a plurality of drain exits (35). In some embodiments, concave regions (1634-1640) are also provided. The concave regions (1634-1640) are substantially devoid of any drain exits. An upper portion of the wringer (18) may be substantially cylindrical or conic-cylindrical and a lower portion may be neither cylindrical nor conic-cylindrical. The bottom perimeter of the bottom may define a square-like shape. Further aspects relate to novel connection assemblies (50). Certain assemblies (50) may have a top portion with a vertical wall that is configured to position mop fibres (14) along a vertical axis.
