A cylinder cleaning apparatus for a printing press includes a cleaning cloth, a plate, and a cylinder and a rod. The cleaning cloth is brought into contact with the circumferential surface of a blanket cylinder to wipe a foreign matter on the circumferential surface of the blanket cylinder. The plate is arranged to oppose the circumferential surface of the blanket cylinder through the cleaning cloth, is deformed in accordance with a radius of curvature of the circumferential surface of the blanket cylinder, and has a reaction force against the circumferential surface of the blanket cylinder. The cylinder and the rod press the plate against the circumferential surface of the blanket cylinder, thereby bringing the cleaning cloth into contact with the circumferential surface of the blanket cylinder at a predetermined contact pressure.
