- the two rollers 9 are spaced from each other, so that the handle 18 of the wet mop 1 can be passed between the two sub-rollers.
- the holder 2 is passed together with the mop cover 3 between the upper rollers 9 and the lower roller 10.
- the distance between the upper rollers 9 and the lower roller 10 is dimensioned such that the mop cover 3 is compressed during the passage of the wet mop 1 and so dehumidified to a certain residual moisture.
- the rollers 9 and the roller 10 form a movement device 15 for moving the holder 2 through the cleaning device 4.
- the roller 10 and the rollers 9 are driven in the direction of rotation 22 such that the holder 2 is pulled together with the mop cover 3 in the direction of movement 23 between the roller 10 and the rollers 9 through the cleaning device 4.
- the mop cover 3 before pressing between the roller 10 and the rollers 9 passes through the row of spray nozzles 19, which are arranged in the direction of movement 23 in front of the roller 10 and the rollers 9.
- the motor 7 is thereby from a control device 24th controlled, which is connected to a switch 14 which detects the presence of the holder 2 in guides 13 in the drive direction in front of the roller 10 and the rollers 9. In the drive direction behind the rollers 10 also guides 13 are provided for the holder 2.

Since the holder 2 is guided with the mop cover 3 arranged thereon in front of the roller 10 and the rollers 9 over the row of nozzles 19, dirt present in the mop cover 3 is flushed out with the cleaning fluid 6 and then excess cleaning fluid 6 between the roller 10 and the rollers 9 squeezed out. The cleaning liquid 6 pressed out by the roller 10 and the rollers 9 flows down onto the intermediate bottom 15 and is guided thereon to a filter 25, through which the cleaning liquid 6 flows down into the container 5.
- the row of nozzles 19 is connected via a manifold (not shown) and via the line 12 to the pump 8.
- the holder 2 has a wide side 26 and a narrow side 27.
- a switch 14 is arranged, which is connected to the control device 24. If the holder is inserted with its narrow side 27 ahead in the cleaning device 4, then the switch 14 is actuated by the holder 2, whereupon the motor 7 is set to drive the pump 8 and also the roller 10 and the rollers 9 in operation.
- the holder of the roller 10 and the rollers 9 is detected and transported by the cleaning device 4, wherein the holder 2 is arranged on its underside mop cover 3 is sprayed through the row of nozzles 19 with cleaning liquid. After the holder 2 has passed the switch with its wide side 26, the switch falls back to its original position and shuts off the motor 7.
- the cleaning device 4 furthermore has an energy store, which is preferably designed as an accumulator 28, in order to supply energy consumers such as motor 7 and control device 24 with energy.
