PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable it to simplify the maintenance and reduce the running cost while aiming at the miniaturization by making the occupied space smaller. SOLUTION: The device includes a condensation generating means 30 for which a Peltier element for generating condensation used as a washing fluid and a coolant are used. The condensation is generated by the condensation generating means, and, as the washing fluid, the condensation is adhered to a head surface 16A which forms the nozzle holes of an ink-jet head 16 of an ink-jet recorder such as an ink-jet printer, and then the head surface is cleaned by wiping the surface with a cleaning member 53 of the shape of blade which is in sliding contact with the surface.
