Cleaning devices

A cleaning device alternatively usable as a sweep mop in a conventional wet or damp mopping operation, or in a wiping or polishing operation, comprising a mop pad holder having four end corners and attachment means for the mop pad and for the separate attachment of a sheet of wiping or polishing material, wherein the attachment means for the wiping/polishing sheet comprise individual securing devices disposed adjacent the four end corners of the pad holder so that a sheet can be wrapped around the underside of the holder and attached above the holder at the four corners, each said securing device being in the form of a push-in fixing which comprises a cross-slotted resiliently flexible and membrane-like member through which the sheet can be pushed, whereupon the resilience of the member tends to close up the cross slots and the inserted sheet is gripped in a barb-like manner, and the attachment means for the mop pad comprise slots or apertures adjacent the ends of the holder so that the latter presents end bars around which end tails of the pad can respectively be wrapped with said apertures effectively being closed, after the mop pad is fitted, by hinged closure flaps which press down on and thus maintain the attachments of the end tails of the mop pad, the cross-slotted flexible members of said securing devices being molded integrally with the closure flaps.
