Preferably the web is located very close to the surface being cleaned. Thus, the web can be added as part of the wiping layer or the absorbent layer; the web can also be included in the mop as a special layer, preferably between the wiping layer and the absorbent layer. In summary, in a preferred embodiment, where the mesh material is in the same X-Y dimension as the entire cleaning mop, it is preferred that the added mesh material does not directly contact the surface being cleaned to a large extent.
