PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cleaning method by which the interior of a container with fine grooves internally formed in a non-assembly, can be cleaned, with a less load of nuisance upon environments and a par such as a corner or a taper which a tool does not reach and is conventionally hard to clean, can be cleaned. SOLUTION: An object 6 to be cleaned s set in a cleaning tank 4 and a neodymium permanent magnet 3 emitting a strong magnetic field is vibrated on the lower side of the cleaning tank 4. A cleaning medium 1 which is a magnetic material follows up while coming into contact with the object 6 by the vibration of the magnet 3 and adsorbs and removes a toner stain 2a depositing on the surface and groove parts of the object 6. Further, the cleaning medium 1 is formed of tacky magnetic material media 1a, each of which has a tack to such an degree of adsorptivity to adsorb a toner with a diameter of 10μm. However, the media 1a have no tack powerful enough to agglomerate each other through an adhesion process, so that the media 1a are easily separated from each other by the applied magnetic field. |
