  • Publication number: 20230020472
    Abstract: Embodiments include spray mops with fluid reservoirs and integrated locking mechanisms. The locking mechanism selectively locks a base of the spray mop to its handle when the handle is substantially vertical to the base, to prevent the base from pivoting relative to the handle. When so engaged, the spray mop can stand vertically on its base without requiring external support. Some embodiments include a detachable spray nozzle for separate application of cleaning solution contained within the fluid reservoir. Some further embodiments include a deployable kickstand. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
