Accordingly, the wiping instrument provides a wiping cloth which is attached to the bottom of a base plate portion provided with a handle. The wiping operation is performed by moving the wiping cloth over a surface to be cleaned. The base plate portion is made of a rigid material and a plurality of elastic projections are erected on substantially all of the surface of the bottom of the base plate portion. The wiping cloth is attached to the bottom of the base plate portion so as to cover a plurality of the elastic projections.
