Sponge mop attachment

A removable mop attachment for use on a butterfly sponge mop having dual squeeze arms with ends which are inserted into holes on the sides of a sponge support member mounted on the mop, said mop attachment comprising:

• (a) an integral unitary body;
• (b) An outer abrasive surface attached to the body;
• (c) detent tab means extending from the body for insertion into the sponge support member of the mop;
• (d) dual hole means in the body for placement over the holes on the sides of the sponge support member of the mop and for insertion of the ends of the dual squeeze arms.

A butterfly sponge mop with a sponge, a sponge supporting base plate, and a handle, said mop further comprising:

• a. a single piece cleaning implement support member of unitary construction comprising:
• (i) a forward section and a rearward section;
• (ii) said forward section extending outward from the rearward section and above the sponge supporting base plate, said forward section further having surface attachment means for attaching an independently removable separate outer abrasive surface;
• (iii) said rearward section having two side surfaces, each side surface having a hole therethrough, said rearward section further comprising means to connect the cleaning implement support member to the sponge supporting base plate;
• and
• b. dual squeeze arm means which contact and pivot the sponge supporting base plate, each arm of the dual squeeze arm means having an end, one end to be inserted into the hole through one side surface of the rearward section of the cleaning implement support member and the other end means to be inserted into the hole through the second side surface of the rearward section of the cleaning implement support member.
