Cleaning tool and cleaning element

摘要

A cleaning tool (100) for wiping a region to be cleaned includes an elongate cleaning element holder (120), and a cleaning element (110) having an outer surface which has predetermined dimensions and can extend in a longitudinal direction of the cleaning element holder. The cleaning element is attached to the cleaning element holder. When the cleaning element is attached to the cleaning element holder, the cleaning element is wrapped in a helical form around an outer surface of the cleaning element holder in such a manner that the cleaning element outer surface moves toward the outer surface of the cleaning element holder.
