Abstract: A scrubbing pail having a support attached to the rim of the pail, two brackets attached to the support, a grip pivotally attached between the brackets, and two elongate, curved members spaced apart so as to define a channel therebetween that is narrower than the mop head but wider than the mop shaft and the members extending from the grip, under the support and over a minor portion of the pail opening so that, when the mop is in the pail and is moved into the channel between the two members and lifted by the shaft, the mop head is gripped by the members and the pail is thereby lifted and maintained generally level. The two elongate members can be rotated out of the way if desired.
