Abstract: The present invention relates to a mop bucket (10) that comprises a floor (26) and side walls (22, 24) that project upwardly from the floor (26). The floor (26) and side walls (22,24) define an interior volume (28). The floor (26) opens into a cavity (32) that is provided in the interior volume (28). A wringer (50) can be suitably attached to the bucket (50) either within or above the interior volume (28). The cavity is suitably shaped to allow a wringer from a like mop bucket to be located in the cavity (32) when the like bucket is stacked on top of the mop bucket (10). This allows mop buckets to be easily stacked one on top of the other, in a space-efficient manner with the wringer attached.

Abstract: A butterfly sponge mop (1) which has a mop handle (2) which can be set at a desired angle with respect to the wings (12,14) of the mop. The handle is attached to a swivel housing (34) which is provided between the wings, by a swivel connector (32) provided with a swivel pin (38). The axis of the swivel pin is at an angle to the axis of the handle so that rotation of the handle and swivel connector sets the angle of the handle.
