Abstract
A cloth floor washing implement wherein the cloth can be folded to enable squeeze-draining in the floor mop fashion namely with a strainer. The implement comprises a pair of arms (16a; 16b) pivotally connected to a slider (22). The arms are guided by respective slots (20c) and (20d). Driving the slider (22) along broom stick (12) will cause the spreading-apart or folding back of the arms. The washing cloth, preferably made of microfiber, is releasably attached to the distal ends of the arms.
