Abstract
A device for wringing a mop having a plurality of strings connected to a handle and a tailband connected to the strings, includes a bucket having a base connected to a wall. A wringer inwardly projects from the wall. The wringer is shaped and dimensioned to pass through the strings of the mop, so that when the mop is twisted the wringer captively engages the strings to effect a wringing action. In an embodiment, the wringer is a rod. In another embodiment, a friction-enhancing material is disposed on the bottom of the base. The friction-enhancing material prevents the bucket from moving as the mop is twisted and wrung out.
