The present invention relates to a method of cleaning floors and other large surfaces with a cleaning device comprising a handle and a mop head attached thereonto, and a disposable mop wetted with a cleaning composition, said mop being initially at least partially folded and packaged into a box containing a stack of said mops, and said mop being releasably fixed onto said mop head before and while cleaning, said method being characterized in that it comprises the steps of: (i) opening said box - said box having width and length dimensions slightly superior to the surface of the mop head -, so as to expose the mop being on top of said stack of mops, then (ii) manually unfolding said top mop so that it presents a first surface having width and length dimensions slightly superior to the surface of the mop head, then (iii) placing the implement mop head into the box so that the lower surface of said mop head contacts said first surface of said top wipe, then (iv) removing the implement with the wipe attached thereonto and closing the box with its cover so as to prevent evaporation of the cleaning composition, then (v) wiping the floor using said device, and then remove the wipe once used.
