         4 . The mop as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said extending device comprises two latch blocks respectively mounted in two opposite lateral sides of said molded mop casing, and a plurality of activating cables/wires connected between said handle and said latch blocks and movable by said handle to move said latch blocks outwards/inwards relative to said molded mop casing between two positions. 
     
     
         5 . The mop as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said two mophead supporting faces are hinged together. 
     
     
         6 . The mop as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said extending device comprises two rods/arms coupled between two sides of said handle and said two mophead supporting faces of said molded mop casing, and two movable links coupled between said mophead supporting faces; each said mophead supporting face comprising two sector flanges bilaterally perpendicularly extended from a back wall thereof, each sector flange of one said mophead supporting face having an arched sliding slot; said detached part comprises two pivot pins respectively extended from two opposite sides thereof and respectively inserted through the arched sliding slots of the sector flanges of one said mophead supporting face and respectively affixed to the sector flanges of the other said mophead supporting face. 
     
     
         7 . The mop as claimed- in  claim 5 , wherein said detached part -is a hinge connected between a bottom edge of each said mophead supporting face; each said mophead supporting face comprising two sector flanges bilaterally perpendicularly extended from a back wall thereof, each said sector flange comprising an oblique sliding slot; said extending device comprises two pivot rods respectively extended from two sides of said handle and respectively inserted through the oblique sliding slots of the sector flanges of said mophead supporting faces. 
     
     
         8 . A consumptive material for use with the mop as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising a flexible sheet-like body attachable to said mophead supporting faces, and two mop edges respectively provided at two opposite side edges of said flexible sheet-like body for hooking on said extending device to secure said flexible sheet-like body to said mophead supporting faces. 
     
     
         9 . The consumptive material as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein consumptive material further comprises a dry type mophead element and a wet type mophead element respectively provided at said flexible sheet-like body corresponding to said mophead supporting faces. 
     
     
         10 . The consumptive material as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein each said mop edge is a hooked edge. 
     
     
         11 . A consumptive material for use with the mop as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising a hollow, double-beveled body capable onto said molded mop casing, said hollow, double-beveled body comprising two retaining portions bilaterally disposed at a top side thereof, a dry type mophead element provided at said hollow, double-beveled body corresponding to one said mophead supporting face, and a wet type mophead element provided at said hollow, double-beveled body corresponding to the other said mophead supporting face. 
     
     
         12 . A consumptive material for use with the mop as claimed in  claim 4 , comprising a hollow, double-beveled body capable onto said molded mop casing, said hollow, double-beveled body comprising two sidewalls corresponding to said mophead supporting faces, two end walls connected between said two sidewalls and a latch hole in each said side wall for receiving said latch blocks, a dry type mophead element provided at one said sidewall of said hollow, double-beveled body, and a wet type mophead element provided at the other sidewall of said hollow, double-beveled body.
