In the broader aspects of the invention, there is provided a cleaning tool for electrically and pneumatically powered surgical instruments having either a pneumatic hose connector or an electrical plug connector thereon comprising a tool body having opposite ends. An instrument connector is at one of the ends. A handle is at the other of the ends. The handle allows positive control of the positioning of the surgical instrument and positive control over both axial movement and rotary movement of the instrument during cleaning. The instrument connector of the cleaning tool provides a secure mechanical connection to the surgical instrument and a hermetic seal between the body of the tool and the body of the instrument utilizing the existing pneumatic hose or electrical plug connector structure of the instrument in a new and novel manner whereby the surgical instrument may be cleaned, scoured and disinfected without damage to the instrument or unnecessarily exposing the handle or the instrument to the cleaning and disinfectant agents utilized or the unintentional separation of the tool and the dropping of the instrument.
