1. A device for releasing and detaching a floor cleaning cloth from a base, where said base comprises:
a central element, called a retainer, connected with a handle and two half-frames hinged together or to said retainer, said retainer disposed between said half-frames;
a coupling device for keeping the two half-frames in a planar configuration;
a release button that works together with said coupling device to release said planar configuration;
the floor cleaning cloth with pockets at its transverse ends, wherein the pockets include openings into which said two half-frames can enter;
where said half-frames are kept in a planar configuration by said coupling device controlled by the release button, and where said half-frames are hinged, and whose free ends can tilt downwards with respect to said retainer;
a raised cover with:
a side opening, on a longitudinal side of said cover, of such a length that it can allow said base to enter beneath said cover in a planar configuration with the cloth;
where said cover has a width equal to at least half the width of the base;
a slot in the upper part of the cover in a central position extending further than the length of the retainer and less than the distance between the openings of the pockets of the cloth;
one or more connections, on one or more perimeter edges of said cover, to solidly fix said cover to the upper part of a bucket or a trolley.
