Abstract

The invention relates to a floor cleaning device comprising a flat cleaning head ( 1 ) which is guided on a stick whereby the underside of the cleaning head is covered with interchangeable cleaning textile material ( 5 ) which is provided on the end thereof with fixing lugs ( 4 ) which protrude above the underside of the cleaning head ( 1 ) and which when upwardly folded extend as far as the topside of the cleaning head ( 1 ) and can be secured in clamping slits ( 3 ) arranged therein. In order to be able to use the inventive floor cleaning device for wet-wiping purposes, the cleaning textile material ( 5 ) is formed by a machine-washable cleaning plush material ( 6 ) on the lower area of the cleaning head ( 1 ), whereby the right-hand threads ( 7 ) or loops thereof protrude downwards in the direction of the surface which is to be cleaned. A needled felt water-storage layer ( 8 ) is disposed above the cleaning plush material ( 6 ).
