• and
• at least one stripping device, which is arranged to a side of the squeezing-out gap and includes a stripper for stripping liquid from the mop-head cover, wherein a sleeve guide is provided for holding and guiding the at least one stripping device on the frame for the stripper to be displaced linearly back and forth via the sleeve guide between a squeezing-out position, which narrows the squeezing-out gap, and a position which widens the squeezing-out gap, and
• wherein the sleeve guide comprises:
• at least one sleeve with an opening;
• and
• at least one guide pin which can be inserted through the opening and is mounted for sliding action in the at least one sleeve, wherein the stripper is arranged relative to the opening in the sleeve such that, when liquid is being stripped from the mop-head cover, none of the liquid passes into the opening.
