Abstract

A mop wringer ( 10 ) in combination with a mophead ( 28 ), the wringer ( 10 ) comprising a base ( 12 ) and one or more sides ( 14 ) which, at least in use, define a cylindrical or substantially cylindrical channel ( 16 ), and one or more openings ( 21 ) in the base ( 12 ) and/or side(s) ( 14 ) by which fluid can drain from the wringer ( 10 ), and the mophead ( 28 ) comprising a body ( 30 ) and absorbent material ( 34 ) supported by the body ( 30 ), the mophead ( 28 ) being adapted, upon insertion into the wringer ( 10 ), to occlude the channel ( 16 ) so that fluid which is discharged from the absorbent material ( 34 ) is prevented or substantially prevented from rising above the absorbent material ( 34 ).

1 . A mop wringer ( 10 ) in combination with a removable adaptor ( 52 ),
 the mop wringer ( 10 ) comprising i) a base ( 12 ) and sides ( 14 ) which define an first channel, and ii) an opening in the channel ( 16 ) having a cross-section fluid channel with a first transverse dimension, and   the adaptor ( 52 ) comprising a perforated basket with fixed sides ( 14 ′,  14 ″) removably inserted within the sides of the wringer to locate the sides of the basket within in the channel of the wringer,   wherein the adaptor located within the wringer defines a second cross-section fluid channel transverse between the fixed sides of the adaptor with a second transverse dimension, the second transverse dimension being smaller than the first transverse dimension.   
   
   
       2 . The combination of  claim 1 , wherein,
 the mop wringer further comprises a removable guide element ( 38 ), the guide element of the mop wringer being pivotable with respect to the sides of the mop wringer, and   the adaptor further comprises a guide element ( 38 ′,  38 ″), the guide element of the adaptor being pivotable with respect to the sides of the adaptor.   
   
   
       3 . The combination of  claim 1 , wherein,
 the mop wringer further comprises a removable guide element ( 38 ), the guide element of the mop wringer being removable to allow insertion of the adaptor.   
   
   
       4 . The combination of  claim 3 , wherein,
 the adaptor further comprises a guide element ( 38 ′,  38 ″), the guide element of the adaptor being pivotable with respect to the sides of the adaptor.
