CONSTITUTION:A treating section 2, wherein a specified treatment is carried out by supplying a treating liquid to a matter 7 to be treated, is connected with a treating liquid reservoir 1 by way of a piping 5. A detector 11, which is set in the middle of the piping 5, detects an amount of solid materials in the piping 5. A washing operation is carried out by supplying a washing liquid from a washing liquid reservoir 3 to the piping 5, and a waste liquid formed in the piping 5 during the aforementioned washing operation is recovered in a waste liquid reservoir 4. A control section 13, which is connected with the detector 11, controls the washing operation in accordance with the amount of solid materials in the piping 5.
