A handle mounting for cleaning implements (brooms, scrubbers, squeegees or the like) comprises a forked connecting member whose fork arms are at one end securable to the head of the cleaning implement and at the other end, interconnected by a crosspiece, are inserted into one end of a tubular metal stem forming the handle or a portion thereof. The connecting member is secured in the stem by deformation of the latter between the two arms of the fork until the tube wall forms two layers, also by welding. The inserted parts of the fork arms, beyond the deformed end of the tube, are bent so as to bear on opposite faces of the tube wall. A cranked arrangement of the outer ends of the fork arms, for engagement with the cleaning implement, are described.
