 first stitching provided to couple the lateral cleaning part, one side of the coupling part, the floor cleaning part, and the other side of the coupling part; and   second stitching provided to couple the lateral cleaning part and the floor cleaning part.   
     
     
         4 . The mop of  claim 3 , wherein the lateral cleaning part comprises:
 a base member provided in the form of a ring and stacked on one side of the coupling part; and   a plurality of cleaning members each provided in the form of a loop and fastened along a periphery of the base member.   
     
     
         5 . The mop of  claim 4 , wherein the lateral cleaning part is configured such that the base member is fastened to the coupling part by stitching and the cleaning member is disposed to be inclined toward the floor surface. 
     
     
         6 . The mop of  claim 4 , wherein the base member comprises:
 a first base portion fastened by the first stitching; and   a second base portion having a smaller thickness than the first base portion, provided in the first base portion in a radial direction, and fastened by the second stitching.   
     
     
         7 . The mop of  claim 4 , wherein the lateral cleaning part is configured such that the cleaning members are stacked on one another in multiple stages and fastened to the base member. 
     
     
         8 . The mop of  claim 4 , wherein the lateral cleaning part is configured such that the cleaning members are stacked on one another in multiple stages and fastened to the base member, and a spacing interval between the stacked cleaning members increases in a direction away from the base member. 
     
     
         9 . The mop of  claim 2 , wherein the stitching comprises:
 first stitching provided to couple the lateral cleaning part, one side of the coupling part, the floor cleaning part, and the other side of the coupling part; and   second stitching provided to couple the lateral cleaning part, the floor cleaning part, and the other side of the coupling part.   
     
     
         10 . The mop of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a water absorbing part stacked on the floor cleaning part and configured to absorb supplied water and supply the water to the floor cleaning part.   
     
     
         11 . The mop of  claim 10 , wherein the water absorbing part, together with the floor cleaning part, is provided to be surrounded by the coupling part and fastened by the stitching. 
     
     
         12 . The mop of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 a water supply part stacked on the water absorbing part and configured to absorb water supplied from the cleaner and supply the water to the water absorbing part.   
     
     
         13 . The mop of  claim 12 , wherein the water absorbing part, together with the water absorbing part, is provided to be surrounded by the coupling part and fastened by the stitching. 
     
     
         14 . The mop of  claim 13 , wherein the water absorbing part comprises:
 a stitching area surrounded by the coupling part; and   a cleaning area provided to be thicker than the stitching area and configured to press the floor cleaning part so that the floor cleaning part is in close contact with the floor surface.   
     
     
         15 . The mop of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 an attachment part stacked on the water supply part and configured to be attached to a rotary plate of the cleaner.
