Abstract
A cleaning device includes: a housing; a drive device for automatically moving the cleaning device in a movement direction; and a wet-cleaning module accommodated in the housing, the wet-cleaning module including a moveable cleaning element for wet cleaning of surfaces. The cleaning element is belt-shaped. In an embodiment, the wet-cleaning module has three positions for the belt-shaped cleaning element: a cleaning position, in which the cleaning element is configured to contact a surface to be cleaned with a cleaning surface; a parking position, in which the cleaning element is at a distance from the surface to be cleaned; and a regeneration position located between the cleaning position and the parking position, or a regeneration position located in the parking position in which the cleaning element is regeneratable. The wet-cleaning module has a transport mechanism for moving the cleaning element into its cleaning, parking, and regeneration positions.
