Surface stabilizer attachment for floor mop

Abstract

A plurality of ridges is woven into the water-absorbing material on a floor mop's attachment, eliminating the undesired “flip-over” caused by the wet stickiness of the fabric surface when users are mopping the floor. The parallel ridges provide the “push-away” force to resist the stickiness, and also increase the scrubbing power of floor mop due to the hardness of the ridge material.

1 . Surface stabilizer attachment for floor mop, comprising:
 a. A pliable base upon which a layer of water-absorbing material is affixed thereto; and,   b. A plurality of ridges inserted into said layer of water-absorbing material, whereby the height of said layer will not be higher than that of said ridges in their natural dry state.   
   
   
       2 . The surface stabilizer attachment as defined in  claim 1  wherein the plurality of ridges is made from material that is hard and substantially non-water-absorbing. 
   
   
       3 . The surface stabilizer attachment as defined in  claim 2  wherein the plurality of ridges is arranged in parallel pattern. 
   
   
       4 . The surface stabilizer attachment as defined in  claim 3  wherein the plurality of ridges is arranged along the length of said base. 
   
   
       5 . The surface stabilizer attachment as defined in  claim 3  wherein the plurality of ridges is arranged perpendicularly to the length of said base. 
   
   
       6 . The surface stabilizer attachment as defined in  claim 3  wherein the plurality of ridges is arranged diagonally to the length of said base.
