A connection strip is provided on each end edge of the blanket. The connection strips are configured to form non-permanent slotted relationships with complementary connection elements on print cylinder attachment means such that the blanket can be mounted on a print cylinder. Also provided is a system that includes a plurality of cleaning blankets and a variety of different types of print cylinder attachment means that can be combined to achieve a wide range of cleaning blanket assemblies that correspond to different print cylinder designs.
