A mop having a relatively long fabric headband, and a pair of transverse members, preferably pieces of twine, disposed underneath the outer layer of headband material equally spaced on opposite sides of the transverse centerline of the headband which aid in securing the headband to a mop handle.
A wet mop head construction and a method of making such construction comprising a pile fabric having an improved headband for attachment to the gripping elements of a wet mop tool and wherein the headband is comprised of a fabric material sewn about an end of the main body pile fabric portion with end portions of the headband extending from the pile fabric to partially cover and prevent the gripping elements of a mop tool from contacting a surface being treated by the mop head.
A headband (22) for a mop head assembly (10) includes four scrubbing surfaces (40, 42, 44, and 46) that allow a user to scrub a surface with the headband (22). The scrubbing surfaces (40, 42, 44 and 46) include a plurality of interstices (34) and scrubbing sections (36) that are formed by coating a knitted polyester base material (30) with an adhesive and abrasive coating (32). The coating (32) provides strength, durability, and abrasiveness to the base material (30). In addition to the ability to scrub, the headband (22) allows the yarn (20) beneath the headband (22) to dry thus preventing mildew.
