Abstract: A mop with a quick-release connector for connecting a handle to a mop head comprises a female section for attachment to the handle and a male fitting for attachment to the mop head. The male fitting includes a flat thin base portion that is sewn into the mop head. The female section has plurality of receptacles which mate with a similar plurality of bayonet projections in the male section. At least one of the bayonet projections is resiliently flexible and flexes outwardly when the male section is pushed into the female section so as to mate with one another and be securely gripped by an indentation in the female section, providing a positive interlock between the female and male sections. Another of the bayonet projections is a central, rigid, longer bayonet, which acts as a guide when the two sections are connected together.
