A wet-cleaning appliance, in particular a wet mop, has a cleaning roller, which is mounted in a rotatable manner about a roller axis, and a roller cover, which encloses the cleaning roller in the circumferential direction, at least in part, and has at least one displaceable covering element for optionally closing and/or releasing an opening region of the roller cover. In order to create a wet-cleaning appliance which, as far as the user is concerned, can be transferred in a particularly convenient and reliable manner from mopping operation to regeneration operation, the displaceable covering element should be coupled to the cleaning roller by a gear mechanism, in particular a toothed gear mechanism, such that the cleaning roller can be displaced by virtue of the covering element being displaced or the covering element can be displaced by virtue of the cleaning roller being displaced.
A wet-cleaning appliance (1), in particular a wet mop, having a cleaning roller (2) mounted so that it can rotate around a roller axis (3), and a roller cover (4) that at least partially encloses the cleaning roller (2) in a circumferential direction, which has at least one displaceable covering element (5) for optionally closing and/or releasing an opening region (6) of the roller cover (4), wherein the displaceable covering element (5) is coupled with the cleaning roller (2) by a gear mechanism (7), in particular a toothed gear mechanism, in such a way that the cleaning roller (2) can be displaced by displacing the covering element (5), or the covering element (5) can be displaced by displacing the cleaning roller (2), wherein the covering element (5) is displaceable in a circumferential direction of the cleaning roller (2) around a covering axis (8).
