Mop
A mop is a
tool generally used for cleaning
floors.A wet mop typically has a long handle and a head made of thick, soft strands of water-absorbing fabric. To clean a floor, the mop is soaked in a
bucket of water or cleaning fluid and scrubbed against the surface. Some buckets include a
wringer to strain excess water from the mop, so as not to saturate the floor. Mops are also often used to clean up liquid spills.
