In Israel a popular way of cleaning floors is with sponja. Is there a way that one may do this on Shabbos? (sources)

@Loewian: Sechita, watering plants, not Kovod Shabbos– Gershon GoldSep 16, 2015 at 17:25

1so Sponja is just Hebrew for squeegee? youtube.com/watch?v=7SXgAS9kp3Y start at 37 seconds– rosendsSep 16, 2015 at 20:06

Isn't it just a non-absorbent rubber strip? How would that be a problem of sechita? And I assume if the water won't be watering plants, that would be a way one may do it (Does it usually end up watering plants?) As far as kovod shabbos - is it that different than sweeping? (Though I suppose you could say there is more tircha... and it could always qualify for the ever-elusive catch-all category of uvda d'chol)– LoewianSep 16, 2015 at 21:48

I once told off the shames in Zichron Moshe stiebelach for doing sponja on Shabbos. He responded that Dayan Fisher had told him it was permissible so I should direct any further enquiries to the dayan.
