Spray mop

Abstract

The spray mop includes a handle having a mop head at its lower end and a grip at its upper end. The mop includes a receiver adapted to hold an inverted bottle of cleaning solution, as sold at retail with an attached sprayer. The mop includes an adapter that is screwed onto the bottle of cleaning solution after the original sprayer is removed, whereby the bottle of cleaning solution can be inverted and inserted into the receiver. A spring-loaded retainer securely holds the bottle of cleaning solution in the receiver so that if the mop is dropped, inverted, or bumped there will be no leakage, while a trigger on a handgrip at the upper portion of the mop handle activates a valve in the adapter whereby cleaning solution is dispensed through a spray nozzle at the lower portion of the receiver.

1 . A spray mop adapted to use a standard retail container of cleaning solution, the spray mop comprising:
 an elongated handle having a proximal end and a distal end;   a spray nozzle near the lower portion of the handle, said spray nozzle being adapted to disperse cleaning solution;   a mop head, the mop being configured to retain a cleaning pad; and   a spring-loaded retainer configured to retain the container of solution.
