An improved butterfly mop comprises a sponge member adapted to be either urged into a normal position for cleaning, or folded inwardly upon itself in a compressed position to facilitate squeezing of the sponge member, or folded outwardly upon itself into a retracted position with the underside of the sponge member exposed to facilitate maneuvering the sponge into narrow recesses or around tight corners. In one embodiment the butterfly mop comprises retraction members secured to the sponge member whereby the sponge member is easily forced into its retracted position.
