The invention relates to a cleaning method for the screen stencil (2) of a silk-screen printing machine. According to said method, prior to an intermediate printing process designed to clean the screen stencil (2), the underside of said stencil is wet with a cleaning agent that dissolves dye. The invention also relates to an intermediate printing device comprising an intermediate printing roll (7) that can be displaced back and forth. A rotating roll (9) that is immersed in a cleaning bath is situated at the front end of said intermediate printing roll. The rotating roll can be brought into contact with the underside of the screen stencil prior to the intermediate printing process by means of a pivoting device (13).
