PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plasma cleaning method that suppresses corrosion and damage in a component inside a chamber, has high cleaning efficiency, and achieves quick and reliable cleaning. SOLUTION: The plasma cleaning method includes a first step for setting the clearance between upper and lower electrodes to a first gap, for introducing cleaning gas from a gas introduction means, applying high frequency power to the upper electrode and/or the lower one to generate the plasma of the cleaning gas, and for cleaning the inside of a treatment vessel; a second step for generating the plasma of the cleaning gas by a second gap that is wider than the first one to perform plasma cleaning; and a third step at least for introducing the plasma of the cleaning gas generated outside for cleaning in the second gap.
