Abstract: A self-wringing cleaning implement including a cleaning assembly equipped with a platen and a compression member constructed and arranged for relative movement. The cleaning assembly further includes a cleaning member having an absorbent body and a porous cover releasably securable to the platen. During wringing, relative linear movement between the platen and the compression member compresses the absorbent body to force liquid contained therein through the openings in the porous cover. Conversely, relative linear movement between the platen and the compression member in the opposite direction relieves pressure on the absorbent body whereby the implement is configured to resume cleaning of a surface. The implement may also include a scrub brush for removing especially stubborn soil from a surface.
