DESCRIPTION OF ATTACHED APPENDIXNot Applicable
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThis invention relates generally to the field of mops and more specifically to a bucketless Mop.
Mops are generally used to clean floor surfaces and soak up access solutions in many forms.
Current mop solutions are the mop with separates cleaning solution combinations and those with on board reservoirs. These are further split into permanent mop material mops and replaceable wipes
The bucket and mop solutions are unwieldy, waste water and are less effective the more they are used in a single session. The wipe type mop is expensive, replacing the wipes can be difficult and not all wipes are environmentally friendly. The on board reservoir type does not allow the use of a filter system to reuse the cleaning fluid effectively. No prior art allows for the user, in one single motion, to control the flow of cleaning solution, clean and replace the cleaning surface, remove excess solution and filter the cleaning solution to extend use of the cleaning solution.
