         14 . The mop of  claim 13 , wherein the crossing center of the plurality of sewing lines is aligned with a center of the mop. 
     
     
         15 . The mop of  claim 1 , further comprising a water absorbing portion located between the upper absorbing portion and the floor cleaning portion. 
     
     
         16 . The mop of  claim 15 , wherein the attaching portion is coupled to an upper side of the water absorbing portion. 
     
     
         17 . A mop comprising:
 a floor cleaning portion;   an upper absorbing portion located over the floor cleaning portion, the upper absorbing portion being configured to receive water supplied from a water tank to supply the water to the floor cleaning portion; and   an attaching portion located over the floor cleaning portion, the attaching portion being connected to the upper absorbing portion,   wherein an overlap portion of the attaching portion is located to overlap an outer edge of the upper absorbing portion in a vertical direction.   
     
     
         18 . The mop of  claim 17 , wherein the overlap portion of the attaching portion extends in a circumferential direction along the outer edge of the upper absorbing portion. 
     
     
         19 . The mop of  claim 17 , wherein an inner edge of the attaching portion is located to overlap the upper absorbing portion in the vertical direction. 
     
     
         20 . The mop of  claim 17 , wherein an inner diameter of the attaching portion is smaller than an outer diameter of the upper absorbing portion. 
     
     
         21 . The mop of  claim 17 , wherein the overlap portion of the attaching portion contacts an upper surface of the upper absorbing portion. 
     
     
         22 . The mop of  claim 21 , wherein the upper absorbing portion and the overlap portion of the attaching portion are sewn to each other. 
     
     
         23 . The mop of  claim 22 , further comprising a water absorbing portion located above the floor cleaning portion and below the upper absorbing portion and the attaching portion,
