An ostomy bag cleaning appliance for cleaning an ostomy bag comprising a housing with a sealable top to prevent soiled water from splashing outside the cleaning appliance when in use, a mounting plate located within the housing for mounting a soiled ostomy bag, and a nozzle that projects through the mounting plate and into the mounted ostomy bag. A conventionally known attachment appliance which corresponds to the dimensions of the user's ostomy bag, can be affixed to the mounting plate so that an ostomy bag can be installed within the cleaning appliance. The head of the nozzle projects through an opening in the mounting plate and into the ostomy bag and provides a multi-directional stream of water into the ostomy bag. The nozzle provides a stronger flow of water downwards into the ostomy bag causing sufficient agitation to break up solid body waste within the ostomy bag. The outer diameter of the nozzle is smaller than the opening of the smallest ostomy bag, so that soiled water can flow back out of the ostomy bag and into the housing for a range of ostomy bag sizes. The appliance can also be used in association with an automatic controller for additional convenience, or in association with a portable water source for portable use.
