Abstract
The invention provides a cleaning method for removing dirt on an industrial belt and a cleaning belt used in the same. A cleaning belt having through-holes is provided onto an industrial belt. The cleaning belt comprises structural unit pieces in parallel to one another in a lengthwise direction. Each of the unit pieces is loosely interconnected and has a play such that the unit piece can move. The movement gives vibration onto the industrial belt when the cleaning belt is brought in contact with the surface of a running industrial belt. Then dirt on the industrial belt is removed through the through-holes.
