What this pictured object is called in English?

I was googling for mop and squeegee and got confused since based on the pictures in google images the most mops and squeegees look different. Then what is the accurate name for that?

Mop with flat cloth head

I expect most Americans, when seeing this, would call it a Swiffer, even if it is not actually a Swiffer brand product. It’s similar to how many Americans call any kind of facial tissue a Kleenex.

After doing a web search for "dust mop", I agree with Corvus B that the generic term for this product seems to be dust mop.
