Abstract
A dust mop comprises a handle connected to a flexible base member of unibody configuration. The base member has a flexibly resilient top wall and flexibly resilient side and end walls. Cleaning strands of cloth or like material are attached to and extend from the base member. The top wall of the base member comprises an integrally molded spring which maintains the base member in a flat configuration. The cloth strands can be used for cleaning dust or other accumulated dirt or a disposable cleaning sheet can be wrapped around the cleaning strands and retained in position over the strands and the base member by resilient biased members integrally molded from the top wall.
