Abstract: The cleaning sponge connection of the present invention may be easily and quickly connected and disconnected with the lower end of the usual operating rod by simply changing the angular position of the cleaning sponge and slipping the free end of the latch hook into and out of a latch tunnel formed on the cleaning sponge support channel. The present connection requires that the cleaning sponge operating mechanism position the cleaning sponge in only two positions, that is, the wringing and cleaning positions and requires no extraneous connecting devices such as bolts and nuts or latching plates and the like.
