dust mop

Dry floor cleaner

A dust mop is a long-handled cleaning tool with a flat, rectangular head covered in soft fibers or microfiber, used for sweeping dust and debris from hard floors.

Unlike a broom, it traps particles rather than scattering them: She ran the dust mop over the hardwood before mopping.

Also called a dry mop.
