A cleaning tool for cleaning optical fiber connectors exposes a cleaning sheet in a window of the case. A winding pulley is operable to wind the cleaning sheet upon rotation at a constant pitch. A rotation mechanism, that is operated by a lever, rotates the winding pulley. The case is constructed of a first front plate and a second front plate which are closed off by a perimeter wall along their outer circumference. The case has an open portion in a part of the perimeter wall, and the lever is disposed in the open portion in an inclined orientation.
