A cleaning station for cleaning welding torches disposed on welding robots, in particular the interior of gas nozzles on electrical arc welding torches, has a simpler and robust construction, and a reliable cleaning effect. The cleaning station has a cleaning wire, one end of which is attached on one side to a base and which extends from the base towards a free end, wound in a coil around a longitudinal axis, wherein the outer diameter of the coil formed by the cleaning wire is dimensioned in such a way that the coil at the free end of the cleaning wire can be inserted, at least along a section of its length, into a welding torch, especially into a gas nozzle of an electrical arc welding torch. A method of cleaning welding torches disposed on welding robots, in particular the interior of gas nozzles on electrical arc welding torches, comprises guiding the open end over a free end of a cleaning wire that has been wound into a coil and fastened at one end to a base; and moving the welding torches back and forth relative to the cleaning wire in such a way that the cleaning wire strikes the inner wall inside the welding torches, at the gas nozzle.
