Abstract
A flat mop head for cleaning floors includes a cover panel with structure fastening on its top surface and a highly absorbent material at least partially made of cotton and/or viscose in the central area of its bottom surface. At least the longitudinal sides of the cover panel are provided with a hem. A textile rim both at least partially surrounds the edges of the cover panel, and forms the hem. The cover panel consists of at least partially mixed yarns made of synthetic and natural fibers. This wash-resistant cover panel is inexpensive to produce, may be used both for wet and dry cleaning tasks, slides easily on the floor, and has high cleaning power both for water-soluble and solid soil.
