mop head

Tangled mess atop

A mop head is the absorbent part of a mop—the bundle of yarn, sponge, or microfiber strips that contacts the floor.

Mop heads are typically replaceable: I need to buy a new mop head; this one's falling apart.

The term also describes a person's unruly mass of hair, likening it to the tangled strands of a mop: He woke up with a mop head that no comb could tame.
