A floor mop includes a handle, and a mop holder fixed to the handle and carrying a flat mop. The mop comprises two mop halves each mounted on a mop-carrying surface of the holder. The mop-carrying surfaces are located on respective holder arms which are able to swing between raised and lowered positions. In the raised position the mop-carrying surfaces are inclined downwardly and outwardly. The mop assumes a tapered shape when held in the raised position, so that it can easily be introduced into a relatively small squeezing device for being wrung out. Instead of being disposed on swingable arms, the mop-supporting surfaces could be disposed in a one-piece holder and permanently arranged in a downwardly and outwardly inclined state.
