Abstract

A cleaning cloth holding structure for a mopping apparatus includes a socket and a fastening member. The socket has a lower surface to hold a cleaning cloth and an upper surface to anchor the cleaning cloth. The fastening member has an assembling portion coupled with the upper surface of the socket. The upper surface has a first anchor portion. The fastening member has a corresponding second anchor portion to clamp the cleaning cloth with the first anchor portion to form anchor relationship. Thus the cleaning cloth can be securely held on the socket without loosening off during cleaning to improve usability.
