A handle for a cleaning implement having a shaft with a longitudinal axis, comprising: an elongated handle body having portions at one end forming a cavity with first and second surface openings for receiving said shaft, said cavity being defined by first and second overlapping bores with respective first and second longitudinal axes which are inclined toward one another, said first bore defining a first cavity surface and said second bore defining a second cavity surface, said handle being movable between: a locked position in which said longitudinal axis of said shaft is aligned with said first longitudinal axis and said first cavity surface frictionally holds said handle in place relative to said shaft; and an unlocked position in which said longitudinal axis of said shaft is aligned with said second longitudinal axis and said second cavity surface is spaced from said shaft so that said handle moves freely relative to said shaft.
