It is an object of the invention to provide an effective technique for providing an elongate holding part with directional freedom of deflection so as to realize smoother cleaning operation, in a cleaning tool in which a cleaning element for cleaning an object to be cleaned is held by the elongate holding part of a cleaning element holder. A cleaning element holder 130 of a cleaning tool 100 according to this invention includes a handle 150 to be held by user's hand, and a pair of holding parts 142 which extend from the handle 150 in a longitudinal direction of the cleaning element holder. Each of the holding parts 142 has deflection displacement characteristics around a connection 141 between the handle 150 and the holding part 142, at least in a first direction transverse to an extending direction of the holding parts 142 and a second direction transverse to the first direction. When a load of 2.5 N is applied in the first direction to an end 143, the holding part 142 deflects 15 to 80 degrees in the first direction, and when a load of 2.5 N is applied in the second direction to the end 143, the holding part deflects 25 to SS degrees in the second direction.
