The urine bag cleaning manifold is adapted for attaching to a bathroom sink faucet, bathtub faucet and other faucets for circulating the warm water from the faucet and the cleaning solution therethrough. The cleaning manifold includes a flexible inlet tube having a first end and a second end. The first end of the inlet tube is adapted for connection to the faucet. The second end of the inlet tube is attached to an inlet of a water inlet valve. An outlet of the water inlet valve is attached to a first end of an upstream mixing section. The upstream mixing section is part of a hollow manifold body. The hollow manifold body also includes a downstream discharge section. A second end of the mixing section is attached to a first end of the discharge section. A cleaning solution container is mounted on top of a cleaning solution valve. The cleaning solution valve is attached to sides of an opening in an upper portion of the mixing section. A plurality of outlet valves are attached to sides of openings in a lower portion of the discharge section. A first end of a plurality of outlet tubes is attached to the outlet valves. A second end of the outlet tubes is adapted for attachment to the urine bags.
