An attachment is disclosed for a squeeze mop of the type having a mop handle, a water-like absorbent member or sponge at one end of the handle, and a mechanism for squeezing the water absorbent member so as to release the water contained therein. In one embodiment of the invention, the attachment comprises a flat plate containing a plurality of spike members which are used in lieu of the water absorbent member. In another embodiment of the invention, the squeezing mechanism is used to either drive a plurality of spiked members in the direction of the object or to pull the spiked object away from the tool. Various squeezing mechanisms are disclosed and various means of attaching spiked members to the end of the mop handle are illustrated and discussed in detail.
