Abstract: A mopping sponge assembly including a sponge having one face adapted for mopping and a scrubbing element attached to the sponge in a position such that a face of the scrubbing element is recessed away from the face of the sponge when the sponge is used with a normal mopping pressure. The scrubbing element is driven into contact with a surface being mopped when pressure on the sponge is increased above the normal mopping pressure.
