Abstract
A headband (22) for a mop head assembly (10) includes four scrubbing surfaces (40, 42, 44, and 46) that allow a user to scrub a surface with the headband (22). The scrubbing surfaces (40, 42, 44 and 46) include a plurality of interstices (34) and scrubbing sections (36) that are formed by coating a knitted polyester base material (30) with an adhesive and abrasive coating (32). The coating (32) provides strength, durability, and abrasiveness to the base material (30). In addition to the ability to scrub, the headband (22) allows the yarn (20) beneath the headband (22) to dry thus preventing mildew.
