Abstract: A flip-up-wringer sponge mop a wringer system in which the expelling of dirty water from the mop is effective in minimizing unwanted recycling of the water back into the sponge. The mop has a mop head comprising a generally planar mop sponge backed by a head plate. It has roller means to move against the sponge and squeeze out water. It has means to allow the handle to pivot with respect to the head so that the mop head can flip back over the handle or the handle can have its angle to the head reduced so as to permit the mop head to reach under low furniture and the like.
