11. A wringer assembly for use with a mop bucket, comprising: a housing; a bar rotatably connected to the housing; first and second paddles operatively attached to the housing and bar such that movement of the bar moves the paddles; and a handle operatively attached to the bar, said handle being positionable generally at any location along the length of the bar; wherein the handle further comprises an attachment point for attaching said handle to the bar at a selected position, the attachment point allowing the handle to be slid along the bar; said handle comprising a grip portion that is rotatable to allow for varying configurations of the grip portion relative to the bar; and one or more arms extending therefrom for interacting with the mop bucket to aid in mitigating separation of the wringer assembly from the mop bucket during use of the wringer assembly.
